The Prince “is always busy” and has been so this week for Bhutan’s 112th National Day. Over the last three days Zorro had multiple meetings with HRH Prince Dasho Jigyel Ugyen Wangchuck.

DECEMBER 6, 2019 — Zorro JH1AJT and his team will visit A5 Bhutan again. This time Zorro will have meetings with the Olympic Committee and Bhutan Paralympic Committee for Bhutan’s participation in the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympic / Paralympic Games, especially focusing his support to the Paralympic and Para-athletes.
