Bhutan PM Tobgay In Delhi For PM Modi’s Oath Ceremony

Bhutan’s Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay has arrived in the capital city to participate in the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi today. He received a warm welcome at the airport from Pavan Kapoor, Secretary (West) of the Ministry of External Affairs.

MEA Official spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal in a post on X, “PM Tshering Tobgay of Bhutan arrives in New Delhi for the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister and Council of Ministers. Warmly welcomed by Secy (West) Pavan Kapoor at the airport. The visit will further strengthen close bonds of friendship and cooperation between India and Bhutan.”

Bhutan’s PM congratulates PM Modi on his third consecutive election win, pledging closer collaboration to strengthen India-Bhutan ties.

He posted on X, “Congratulations to my friend PM @narendramodi ji and NDA for the historic 3rd consecutive win in the world’s biggest elections. As he continues to lead Bharat to great heights, I look forward to working closely with him to further strengthen the relations between our 2 countries.”

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.
