India-Bhutan: Chief Operations Officer of the Royal Bhutan Army, Lieutenant General Batoo Tshering met Chief of Defense Staff General Anil Chauhan on Monday. Let us tell you that the top Bhutanese military commander is visiting India nearly two months after the visit of Bhutan King Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuk. Lieutenant General Shering may hold talks with other Indian officials on the overall situation of the Doklam plateau.
In Delhi, Royal Bhutan Army's Chief Operating Officer, Lieutenant General Batoo Tshering, met and chatted with Chief of Defense Staff General Anil Chauhan on Monday, intending to strengthen India-Bhutan strategic relations. Officials have confirmed that during this interval, the discussion focused on strengthening both countries' strong relations of strategic partnership and friendship. There was a discussion between both concerning the security environment in the region, too.
Lieutenant General Shering started a six-day India tour over the weekend. The tour aims at strengthening security cooperation between India and developing new avenues for cooperation in defense affairs.
Indian and Chinese troops clashed for 73 days at the tri-junctures of Doklam in 2017 when China tried to construct a road into a Bhutan claim region. The India-China standoff at the Doklam plateau has also raised concerns regarding a full-fledged India-China conflict between both neighboring nations. Bhutan insisted that the region is theirs and India supported Bhutan's claim.
