The leaders also discussed about the common challenges and opportunities faced by their countries, particularly in terms of their relatively small populations and economies. Both Bhutan and Lesotho rely heavily on agriculture, tourism, and hydropower as key sectors driving their development.


This one is about the visit and has a beautiful song dedicated to the king of Bhutan


And a bonus video praising the Queen of Bhutan's beauty, lifestyle and her social causes to improve life in her country. The thumbnail used is not where she lives in. Looks to me a made-up AI art picture. But is nice she gets a video to showcase her work.
