Tshering Tobgay, PM of Bhutan
I have heard global leaders announce that their country is first. I have not heard of a leader of such a large country saying ‘neighbourhood first’ anywhere in the world at any time in history. It is a wonderful opportunity. I can’t speak for the other neighbouring countries, but for Bhutan, ‘neighbourhood first’ has translated to even deeper friendship between two countries and even more support and assistance from India. It has allowed us to grow our economy, and meet our developmental targets.
