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, 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).
