Bhutanese King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck highlighted the Gelephu Mindfulness City during his 116th National Day address.


His Majesty said South Asia is experiencing an unprecedented economic transformation. This is a period of growth and a period of immense opportunities for our region, which is home to around two billion people, reported The Bhutanese.

The land connection from Gelephu or Samdrup Jongkhar through Assam and Northeast Indian states, to Myanmar, Thailand, to Cambodia and Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore, is a vibrant economic corridor linking South Asia to Southeast Asia.

“We are in a unique position to reap great benefits if we seize the opportunity, make good plans, and work together diligently,” Wangchuk was quoted as saying by the news portal.

The Special Administrative Region (SAR) in Gelephu as the economic hub will have the autonomy to formulate laws and policies that are needed.

His Majesty said there will be screening process to ensure that the companies and people who come to Gelephu are sensitive to Bhutanese culture and traditions, respect Bhutanese identity, and shares Bhutan’s values.
