Plans are in motion for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Bhutan later this month, marking what is expected to be his final foreign trip of his current term. This visit, plans for which are still underway, holds significance against the backdrop of strengthening ties with the new government in Thimphu and ongoing efforts to enhance connectivity between India and Bhutan.
After a meeting between PM Modi and Bhutanese King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuk both the countries are considering cross-border rail link connecting Kokrajhar in Assam to Gelephu in Bhutan.
India and Bhutan agreed to expand bilateral cooperation in multiple areas, with a special focus on cross-border connectivity, and also agreed on the final location survey of the first cross-border rail link between the two countries.
During the bilateral talks, India and Bhutan agreed on nine key points, including undertaking a final location survey of the proposed cross-border rail link connecting Assam's Kokrajhar to Bhutan's Gelephu, as well as the completion of the preliminary engineering-cum-traffic (PET) survey of the rail link by the Indian Railways.
