New Delhi, July 3

Bhutan, which is extremely selective about establishing diplomatic relations, accepted the credentials of Israeli Ambassador to India Naor Gilon. The credentials were presented last month to the King of Bhutan Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck in Thimphu.

Bhutan has embassies only in India, Bangladesh, Belgium, Kuwait, and Thailand. Bangladesh, India and Kuwait are the only countries that have embassies in Thimphu. Besides, Denmark has a representative office in Bhutan. Even the US has no embassy presence in Bhutan. It is not known if the step will lead to the setting up of embassies in Thimphu and Tel Aviv.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

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