PM Tobgay is one of the esteemed guests scheduled to participate in the highly anticipated event where BJP leader Modi will take the oath as India’s Prime Minister for the third consecutive term.
India and Bhutan’s longstanding partnership, founded on trust and goodwill, began in 1968 with the establishment of India’s special office in Thimphu. Prime Minister Modi’s recent State visit in March continued the tradition of high-level exchanges, aligned with India’s Neighborhood First Policy. He met with King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and former King Jigme Singye Wangchuck and held discussions with Bhutanese Prime Minister Tobgay.
