Approximately 64,000* Bhutanese—nine percent of our population—have migrated abroad for better opportunities. Imagine the impact if we harness the knowledge and skills of this nine percent to drive Bhutan’s development forward. Let’s turn this global presence into a powerful force for our nation’s growth.
