(A) Permission for an international election observer to the Resident Coordinator of the Liaison Office of Denmark (LOD), Torben Bellers, and his staff members was given by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (i.e. the Government), Royal Government of Bhutan and not by His Majesty King of Bhutan, as it was written “Bhutan’s Royalty permitted Danes as an observer of May 2007 mock election of transition towards democracy.”
(B) At present the Danish Education Sector programme in Bhutan has a financial volume of DKK 86.5 million.♣
