The Prime Minister Dr Lotay Tshering thanked Indian Prime Minister Modi for visiting Bhutan during his press statement after the inauguration of several initiatives and exchange of MoUs at Semtokha Dzong yesterday.

“Actually, it was on your first visit back in 2014, you have touched the hearts of Bhutanese people. And I clearly remember your Excellency saying that Bhutan and India are close, not because we have open borders but because we have opened our hearts to each other. So your visit this time shows how much you meant it,” he said.

Lyonchhen said, “Adding to the significance of this special visit, is the venue in which we are seated today. This is the first fortress built by the founder of Bhutan, Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel, almost 400 years ago.”

He said that it is very symbolic to celebrate yet another milestone in Indo-Bhutan relations at Semtokha Dzong. “Bilateral event at this venue is a first of its kind but I personally feel it is well deserved. I thank my King for allowing us to use this sacred and auspicious hall today.”

Lyonchhen also commended Prime Minister Modi for his strong and dynamic leadership. “India’s stature and influence have grown in the international arena and it has emerged as a global leader.”

“Your leadership has a rare combination of courage, compassion and calibre. We see you taking bold steps for the greater interest of your nation and its people. I offer my admiration and sincere appreciation,” he said.

Lyonchhen also assured Prime Minister Modi of Bhutan’s unwavering support to India’s leadership role in the regional as well as global affairs. “A politically and economically stable and successful India translates to a more prosperous region that also benefits Bhutan.”

He said, “I personally feel healthy people to people contact, based on trust and honesty, should be the cornerstone of Indo-Bhutan relation, and not only on the developmental projects we have pursued.”

“India and Bhutan may vary in size but our beliefs, our values, our motivations are all common,” said Lyonchhen.
