Historic address by the Prime Minister of Bhutan from the platform of the United Nations General Assembly
Addressing the high-level session of the United Nations General Assembly, Bhutan’s Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay gave special priority to bilateral relations with India during his speech. He underlined in front of the whole world that whenever Bhutan faced any economic or diplomatic crisis, India, before the rest of the world, extended its helping hand unconditionally like an elder brother. Prime Minister Tobgay particularly praised the ‘Neighborhood First’ policy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that under this policy, India has given unprecedented cooperation to Bhutan in the development, infrastructure, education, health and energy sectors. His address is being seen as India’s growing credibility and diplomatic influence in international politics.
A unique symbol of friendship, diplomacy and trust between India and Bhutan.
Relations between India and Bhutan go far beyond the boundaries of traditional diplomacy and extend to the people-to-people level. Whenever Bhutan takes forward its five-year plans or any major economic development project, India stands by it as its largest financial and technical partner. In the last few years, during the tenure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, new dimensions of cooperation between the two countries have been set. Be it expansion of hydropower projects, space cooperation or implementation of digital payment systems (like RuPay) in Bhutan, on every front India has worked sincerely to make Bhutan self-reliant. This is the reason why today Bhutan’s top leadership proudly considers India as its closest and trusted friend even on global platforms.
India’s ‘neighbourhood first’ policy getting stronger under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Indian foreign policy experts believe that the biggest focus of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s diplomacy has been to build strong and close relations with South Asia and neighboring countries. Bhutan’s Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay’s open praise at the UNGA is a testament to the fact that India has carved a special place in the hearts of its neighbours. When superpowers try to exert pressure on smaller countries for their geopolitical interests, India has always maintained relations with its neighbors on the basis of equality, mutual respect and sovereignty. This unbreakable relationship with Bhutan is an example of how India takes care of its neighbors not only economically but also as a responsible and sensitive global power.
