Bhutan Consul General, Phub Tshering today called on Assam Governor Jagdish Mukhi and discussed bilateral issues with him, an official release said.
Referring to the age old ties between Bhutan and Assam and their geographical proximity, the discussion centred around deepening the bilateral relation by taking advantage of Act East Policy, it said.
The governor stressed on frequent interaction between Assam and Bhutan and urged Tshering for taking adequate measures of sending business and cultural delegations on a regular basis and the state will also reciprocate, the release said.
Mukhi also requested increasing the frequency of flight from Guwahati to Paro connecting Singapore and the Consul General informed that very soon one more flight will start from Guwahati to Thimpu connecting Singapore.
Hailing the governor's statesmanship, the consul general said that though India and Bhutan enjoyed balanced business relations, it will grow deeper to include more sectors for the mutual benefit of both Bhutan and Assam, the release added.
