Call on by the Ambassador-Designate of Switzerland to Bhutan to the Minister, MoICE

H.E. Ralf Heckner, Ambassador-Designate of Switzerland to Bhutan called on Hon’ble Lyonpo Karma Dorji, MoICE this morning. Bhutan and Switzerland established diplomatic relations on 16 September 1985. Bhutan’s relationship with Switzerland dates back to the close personal friendship between Late His Majesty the Third King and the Von Schulthess family in the 1950s.

Switzerland has been an important development partner of Bhutan since the 1960s. Swiss assistance initially was confined largely to livestock and gradually expanded to areas in education, culture, rural infrastructure and renewable natural resources. It continues to engage and provide support to Bhutan through Helvetas. Development cooperation between the two countries today focuses on the key areas of vocational education, decentralization, local governance and civil society.

The Hon’ble Minister thanked the Government of Switzerland for their support and discussed collaborating in the areas of agribusiness, creative Industry & digitalization, FDI opportunities and others. His Excellency was Ambassador to India and Bhutan from September 2020.
