Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met with Bhutan’s King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck during the monarch’s ongoing eight-day official visit to India. The meeting took place shortly after the king’s arrival in New Delhi, where he had been received by Jaishankar at the airport.
King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck’s visit to India began on November 3, with his arrival in Assam, and he is expected to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his stay in the country, which will continue until November 10. The visit underscores the strong and enduring relationship between India and Bhutan.
