Honorable President,

It gives us immense pleasure to extend, on behalf of the Bhutanese people, our most cordial congratulations to the people and leaders on the occasion of the adoption of the constitution of Nepal. We have learnt that the process of writing the constitution was a long exercise, wherein exemplary efforts were made to reach to the people, collect their diverse expectations and needs, and accommodate them. We firmly believe that the years of investment in drafting the constitution have yielded peoples’ constitution that serves for the present and the future generations. Once again, Nepal has set a positive example in the region.

We are impressed by the wisdom of the Nepalese leaderships’ successful struggle to envision and inscribe vision for freedom, harmony, peace, prosperity and pride for the citizen of a sovereign nation and their right to decide their own future. We join hands in appreciating and supporting the visions and aspirations of Nepali people in building a strong, sustainable nation. We again congratulate you all for the successful promulgation of peoples’ constitution.

On behalf of the Bhutanese in the Diaspora and within Bhutan
