Bhutanese Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay has landed in the national capital to attend the oath-taking ceremony of Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi today.
He was warmly welcomed at the airport by Ministry of External Affairs Secretary (West) Pavan Kapoor.
“PM Tshering Tobgay of Bhutan arrives in New Delhi for the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister and Council of Ministers. Warmly welcomed by Secy (West) Pavan Kapoor at the airport. The visit will further strengthen close bonds of friendship and cooperation between India and Bhutan,” said MEA Official spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal in a post on X.
PM Tobgay is among the distinguished guests set to attend the eagerly awaited ceremony in which BJP leader Modi will be sworn in as the Prime Minister of India for the third consecutive time.
With BJP bagging 240 seats and the National Democratic Alliance secured 292 seats out of 543 Lok Sabha seat, PM Modi is set for a third consecutive term as Prime Minister of India with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) emerging victorious in the parliamentary elections.
He will equal Jawaharlal Nehru’s record of becoming the prime minister of India the third time after completing two full terms.
Several leaders and State heads of neighbourhood region and Indian Ocean region have been invited for PM Modi’s swearing-in ceremony as distinguished guests, a testament to India’s ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy.
