His Majesty the King plans to start the formation of the National Guard from next month to see how prepared the National Guard is for its first training.
His Majesty the King inaugurated the center for modern Bhutanese youths who wish to join the National Guard. He toured the premises of the center which is equipped with facilities and technology.
