Tshering Tobgay

Bhutan opened a consulate general’s office in Assam’s capital on Friday, a day before the first Global Investors’ Summit here is to be inaugurated by PM Narendra Modi. It is the second country in the Indian subcontinent, after Bangladesh, to do so. Bangladesh had set up its consulate general here last year. Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the Bhutan-India relationship, Bhutanese foreign minister Damcho Dorji and Assam CM Sarbananda Sonowal opened the consulate in the presence of Bhutanese PM Tshering Tobgay. Dorji announced a Bhutan-Guwahati-Singapore flight service would be launched.
