Prime Minister Narendra Modi has commenced a two-day state visit to Bhutan, marking participation in the 70th birthday celebrations of King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. A major highlight is the launch of the 1,020 MW India-funded Punatsangchhu‑II Hydroelectric Project, strengthening hydro-power collaboration between the two nations. India also extended a ₹4,000 crore (~$455 million) line of credit to support Bhutan’s energy infrastructure and bolster their strategic partnership amid regional geopolitical shifts. (PC: PTI)
