Before Tshering was voted in as Bhutan's prime minister in November 2018, he was one of Bhutan's most renowned doctors. "I like to operate," Tshering said in an interview with AFP. This is his way to relax while others like spending weekends playing golf or archery. /VCG Photo

Tshering is determined not to give up his role as a doctor, "I will continue doing this until I die and I miss not being able to be here every day." /VCG Photo

Tshering is the third leader of the country since the democratization movement happened a decade ago. The country is famous for being ranked as the happiest country in Asia consistently, with the highest "gross national happiness." /VCG Photo
