New Delhi: The latest in a series of high-level engagements between India and Bhutan — following the Sino-Indian military face-off at Doklam in Bhutanese territory last year — continues with Bhutanese Prime Minister Lotay Tshering’s scheduled to visit India from December 27 to 29.
This is Mr Tshering’s first visit to the country since taking charge last month.
During the December 27-29 visit, Mr Tshering will deliberate on ways to step up ties between the two neighbours and also call on President Ram Nath Kovind and vice-president Venkaiah Naidu. External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj and other ministers will call on the Bhutanese Prime Minister, the statement said.
“The minister of foreign affairs, minister of economic affairs and other senior officials from the royal government of Bhutan will be accompanying the Prime Minister of Bhutan,” the statement added.
The two sides are likely to discuss all aspects of bilateral relations, including high-level exchanges, people-to-people ties, and economic, development and hydropower cooperation, it said.
