Modi thanked Tobgay for the “very strong support” that Bhutan gave after the Uri terror attacks and also the solidarity shown in relation to the SAARC summit.
“Tobgay said the bilateral cooperation in hydel power sector was significant as it was contributing to offsetting the carbon emissions,” according to Swarup.
There was also a discussion on the upcoming 50th year of bilateral ties between India and Bhutan, due in 2018, he said.
Tobgay sought Modi’s advice on how both countries could celebrate the occasion in a befitting manner.
“Modi said Goa is not new for Tobgay as he had been here last November. Modi conveyed his greetings to the royal family of Bhutan,” Swarup said.
