Thimphu, February 26, 2009: The newly appointed secretary of the Ministry of Information and Communication Kinley Dorji has assumed his duty at the ministry on Tuesday.
Dorji was managing director and chief editor of Kuensel newspaper before King appointed him as secretary early this month.
Having Master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University in New York, Dorji started career in Kuensel as a reporter and rose to the position of chief editor and subsequently the first managing director of the corporation as well. On December 9, 2006 he received red scarf from the fourth king.
