Bhutan Royal Couple on honeymoon in Jaipur
The Bhutan newlyweds are in Rajasthan to celebrate their honeymoon.
King Jigme Khesar Wangchuck and his wife Queen Jetsun Pema arrived in Jaipur by a special luxury train yesterday (Thursday, October 27th).
While it may be a royal honeymoon for the newlyweds, the strategic significance of the Royal Bhutan holiday in India cannot be underestimated, especially since Bhutan plays a pivotal role in India's foreign policy and is an important buffer state to China, with whom India has many border disputes.
