Army Chief Upendra dwivedi Bhutan Visit: Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi is on a tour of Bhutan these days. As soon as he reached Thimpu, the capital of Bhutan, he received a very special welcome. The king and queen of Bhutan met him himself and honored him in a royal style. This grand reception was held at Tashichhojong Mahal in Bhutan, where he was also given a guard of honor in a traditional way.

India-Bhutan symbol of strengthening of military relations
The statement issued by the Indian Army said that the yatra reflects strong and permanent friendship between the two countries. India and Bhutan military relations are decades old and this visit is expected to strengthen them more. Especially at a time when China is constantly trying to infiltrate the areas of Bhutan, this journey is also a tough message for China that India and Bhutan are united.

China’s tension will increase
This closeness of Bhutan and India can make China uncomfortable. In the last few years, China has made several attempts about the border agreement with Bhutan, but Bhutan has not yet compromised on India’s strategic partnership. In such a situation, this visit of Army Chief Upendra Dwivedi clearly indicates China that Bhutan is still standing firmly with India and will not come under any pressure.
