Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra on Monday called on Bhutan’s new Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay in Thimpu and discussed areas of mutual interest and multifaceted cooperation to further boost India’s relations with the Himalayan nation.

On a three-day visit to Bhutan, Kwatra will be signaling India’s interest in King Jigme Khesar Wangchuck’s ambitious break-out project — the Gelephu Special Administrative Region Project — which is aimed as an economic bridge between South Asia and Southeast Asia, involving Assam, West Bengal in India, and extending to Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, and Singapore.

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).
