Chief of Army Staff Gen Upendra Dwivedi on Monday began a four-day trip to Bhutan to further enhance the already close bilateral military ties against the backdrop of China’s relentless efforts to strengthen infrastructure around the strategically located Doklam plateau.
In Bhutanese capital Thimphu, Gen Dwivedi will call on King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and hold wide-ranging talks with Bhutan’s military chief Lt Gen Batoo Tshering, officials said.
The Army Chief’s visit to Bhutan from June 30 to July 3 comes amid the evolving regional security scenario and over seven weeks after India’s Operation Sindoor targeting terror bases in Pakistani territories.
