16 September, 2009 - His Majesty the King accepted the credentials presented by the new Ambassador of Belgium to Bhutan, Jean Marie Deboutte, at the Tashichhodzong yesterday.

His Majesty also granted an audience to the Ambassador after the presentation of the credentials. While in Bhutan, the Ambassador will make courtesy calls on Prime Minister Lyonchhoen Jigmi Y Thinley and the officiating foreign minister Daw Penjo. He will also visit some important historical places in Bhutan.
Formal diplomatic relations between Bhutan and Belgium were established with the signing of an agreement between the two countries on January 21, 2009 in Thimphu. Then, according to a press release from the ministry of foreign affairs, Bhutan opened a resident embassy in Brussels and appointed Ambassador Sonam T Rabgye as the first ambassador of Bhutan to Belgium.
Ambassador Rabgye is also accredited to the Netherlands, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and the European Union. With the establishment of diplomatic relations with Belgium, Bhutan has diplomatic relations with 23 countries, including the EU.
