Honorary consul of Bhutan
Our CEO and owner Christian Stadil was officially appointed as the honorary consul of Bhutan with a Buddhist ceremony at the Bhutanese embassy in Brussels.
Bhutan is a Buddhist kingdom in the middle of the Himalayas and a stunning country; instead of measuring by GDP, they measure by GNH (Gross National Happiness); a philosophy according to which the government governs, but also an index used to measure the population's collective happiness and well-being.
Furthermore, Bhutan has an incredible biodiversity and as a part of the government's and the country's philosophy, it is decided that a minimum of 60% of the country must be covered by forest.
“I’m looking forward to holding this position, which is also intended to be more active, including in relation to culture and business exchange between Bhutan and Denmark/The Nordic countries.” – Christian Stadil.
Congratulations, we will follow Christian’s diplomatic relations with excitement.
