New Delhi, July 18

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri will pay an official two-day visit to Bhutan (July 19-20), in his first trip abroad after assuming charge of the top post.

Misri, with his Bhutanese counterpart Pema Choden, will co-chair the India-Bhutan Development Cooperation Talks (‘Plan Talks’).

He will also meet the Bhutan King and Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs and External Trade of the Royal Government of Bhutan.

The Ministry of External Affairs said the Foreign Secretary’s visit was in line with having “regular high-level exchanges between India and Bhutan, and underscores the “highest priority” the Government of India attaches to its ‘Neighbourhood First’ Policy”.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
