India's Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, chose to visit Bhutan as the first nation after becoming the Prime Minister. The visit is very important for India's foreign policy which has suffered a policy paralysis and things have become pretty stagnant in the past.
Mr. Modi seems to have understood the need of strengthening ties with it's neighbours before it moves on further away from his borders to enhance ties. Bhutan has been a strategic partner of India for long and has always stood alongside India whenever need be. Mr. Modi have defined the relations as B2B -> Bharat to Bhutan.
During the visit Mr. Modi addressed the Bhutan Parliaments combined session, he also met with the King of Bhutan, who inturn have assured the PM that action wil be taken in order to sweep out any anti-India camps that might be operating on Bhutan soil. During the visit Mr. Modi also inaugurated the Bhutan Supreme Court which has been funded by the Indian Government. Mr. Modi has made a lot many commitments towards Bhutan during the visit to increase Indian influence on Bhutan, which is being wooed by China as well. It may be noted that the Bhutan arny is being trained at the Indian Military Training Camp, in Bhutan which was setup by the Indian Army and is still operating in full force.
During his address to the combined session in the Bhutan Parliament, Mr. Modi also emphasised on the need of a stronger India, and how it will help the SAARC nations to grow further. Mr. Modi said that a stronger India would bring prosperity to the region.
