Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Dzongkha: ཕྱི་འབྲལ་དང་ཕྱིར་ཚོང་ལྷན་ཁག; Wylie: phyi 'brel dang phyi tshong lhan khag) renamed as Ministry of Foreign Affairs and External Trade[1] is the Bhutanese government ministry which oversees the foreign relations of Bhutan. The Royal Government of Bhutan established the Development Ministry in 1968, which was a precursor to the institution of the Department of Foreign Affairs in 1970 and subsequent up gradation to a full-fledged ministry in 1972.[2]
As of right now, Bhutan maintains diplomatic ties with 54 nations, including the EU. New Delhi, Dhaka, Kuwait, Bangkok, Brussels, Canberra, and New York are home to its resident diplomatic missions, while New York and Geneva are home to its permanent US representations. In New York, Guwahati, and Kolkata, Bhutan has consulates. There are seventeen Bhutanese Honorary Consuls overseas. In Thimphu, there are resident missions from Kuwait, Bangladesh, and India. Bhutan is home to honorary consuls from fifteen nations. A number of international organisations, including the UN and others, have country offices in Thimphu.[2]
