PM Modi's Bhutan Visit Amidst China's Doklam Designs And Approaching Lok Sabha Elections: Here's What To Expect

Why PM Modi Is Headed To Bhutan In The Middle Of His Election Campaign

Dear Reader,

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Bhutan for two days, marking the first foreign visit by an Indian Prime Minister after the announcement of the Lok Sabha elections schedule.

This visit holds significance for both countries. Modi's visit comes amid reports of China pressuring Bhutan over the Doklam plateau. The agenda of the visit is expected to include discussions on security and military agreements.

Additionally, Modi is likely to offer India's involvement in Bhutan's proposed 'Gelephu Mindfulness City' project, aiming to provide jobs to Bhutanese youth and attract global investments in sustainable sectors. India's support for the project is seen as crucial for its success.

My senior colleque Jaideep has offered his incisive insights about this in his latest column: Why PM Modi Is Headed To Bhutan In The Middle Of His Election Campaign

Untill next time.
