Buthan får verdens yngste konge
THIMPHU, BUTHAN, November 6: Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck has formally become the youngest king in the world from Thursday, informs Bhutan News Service.
28-year-old Khesar was crowned in the morning as head of state with grand celebrations throughout the kingdom that recently adopted so-called written constitutions.
Oxford-graduated Khesar received felicitations from high ranking officials and religious bodies, later followed by diplomats and invited guests.
Meanwhile, political parties in exile have asked him to guarantee human rights and freedom in Bhutan. In a statement released yesterday, National Front for Democracy has urged Khesar to repatriate the exiled Bhutanese immediately.
