On December 17, 2024, Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma made a historic visit to Bhutan to attend the nation’s 117th National Day celebrations. This visit was significant as Dr. Sarma became the first Chief Minister of Assam to be invited as a State Guest of Bhutan, symbolizing the growing diplomatic and cultural relations between the two neighboring regions.
The celebrations were held at the Changlimithan Stadium in Thimphu, where the CM of Assam participated in the National Day events alongside key officials from both India and Bhutan. The event featured vibrant cultural exchanges, including a beautiful performance of the Bihu dance, a traditional Assamese dance, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Assam. This exchange not only highlighted the cultural bond between the two nations but also emphasized the shared values and deep-rooted friendship that Assam and Bhutan share.
During the visit, Dr. Sarma engaged in constructive discussions focused on enhancing the collaboration between Assam and Bhutan in several critical sectors, including infrastructure development, trade, energy, healthcare, tourism, and skill development. These discussions are aimed at boosting bilateral cooperation, ensuring mutual benefits for both regions, and addressing key areas of development. The energy sector, in particular, was a prominent topic of conversation, as Assam looks to expand its energy network and Bhutan is known for its abundant hydropower resources.
The historic visit marks a milestone in Assam-Bhutan relations, which have traditionally been warm but are now set to expand even further with enhanced trade cooperation and infrastructure projects. CM Sarma’s visit underscores the importance of strengthening the India-Bhutan ties at the regional level, particularly in areas where both nations can collaborate for shared growth and prosperity.
Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma's role in boosting Assam’s image as a key player in regional diplomacy is now well established. His visit has opened up avenues for future engagements between Assam and Bhutan, including increased cultural exchanges, joint ventures in tourism, and synergies in education and healthcare. The focus on infrastructure development will likely lead to stronger economic linkages between the two regions, benefiting the people of Assam and Bhutan alike.
The visit also highlights the warm greetings extended by both Indian and Bhutanese officials, emphasizing the importance of bilateral partnerships. As both countries work to fortify their relationship, the diplomatic and economic cooperation outlined during Dr. Sarma’s visit is expected to play a significant role in enhancing ties in the coming years.
