Bhutan-India Relations

The Golden Jubilee of the establishment of formal diplomatic relations between the two countries was celebrated in 2018. Major General Vetsop Namgyel is the Ambassador of Bhutan to India, and H.E. Mr. Sudhakar Dalela is the Ambassador of India to Bhutan. Bhutan and India enjoy strong bonds of friendship based on genuine goodwill, trust and mutually beneficial cooperation. His Majesty Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, the Third King of Bhutan, and India’s first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, were the chief architects who laid strong foundations for Bhutan-India relations. Successive leaders of the two countries have nurtured and further strengthened the special relations over the past many decades, and it is today a model of friendly bilateral relations between two neighbours.
