Thimphu, 17th June. Bharat’s Billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani met with Bhutan’s Prime Minister, Dasho Tshering Tobgay on Sunday, and announced the signing of a significant agreement for a 570 MW green hydro plant in Chukha province. The meeting, held in Thimphu, also included an audience with Bhutan’s King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck.
Adani expressed his enthusiasm following the meeting, highlighting Bhutan’s commitment to advancing infrastructure initiatives under the vision of King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. He praised Bhutan’s efforts, stating, “Admirable to see @pmo_bhutan advancing the vision of His Majesty The King and pursuing broad ranging infrastructure initiatives across the kingdom.”
