See also: India-Bhutan relations

State visit

Details
Modi made his first foreign visit to Bhutan following an invitation by King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Tobgay. The visit was called by the media as a "charm offensive" that would also seek to check Bhutan-China relations that had recently been formalised.[1] He also sought to build business ties,[2] including a hydro-electric deal, and inaugurated the India-funded Supreme Court of Bhutan building.[3] While talking about the visit, Modi said that Bhutan was a "natural choice" for his first foreign destination because of the "unique and special relationship" the two countries shared. He added that he was looking forward to nurture and further strengthen India's special relations with Bhutan. His entourage included Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh.[4] He was further set to discuss the insurgency in Northeast India, and China.[5]

State visit

Details
Modi arrived for a two-day visit to Nepal on 3 August. The last visit of an Indian prime minster to Nepal was 17 years ago in 1997 by I. K. Gujral.[6][Note I] The talks with Nepal were focused on reviewing the 1950's Treaty of Peace and Friendship, India-funded hydroelectricity projects in Nepal and other infrastructure projects in Nepal.[7] Following Jana Andolan, that marked the beginning of constitutional democracy in 1990, Modi became the first foreign leader to address the Parliament of Nepal.[8][9] The Western media read it as a shift in foreign affairs for India,[10] as well as a Nepal policy shift.[11] He did puja at the fifth century Hindu Pashupatinath temple (where he donated Rs. 25 crores and the head priest, Mool Bhatta Ganesh Bhatta, said: "I told him that we see him as a mascot for Hinduism, and appreciate his efforts in saving Hindu culture").[12] Further he pledged not to interfere in Nepal's internal affairs (following controversy of appointment of Indian priests at a Nepali temple[13]), Modi announced a credit assistance programme of US$1 billion to Nepal and said "Nepal can free India of its darkness with its electricity. But [sic] we don't want free electricity, we want to buy it. Just by selling electricity to India, Nepal can find a place in the developed countries of the world." He also told Nepali MPs he wanted to turn India's "hostile borders benign and ultimately gateways for free trade and commerce...borders must be bridges not barriers." The Kathmandu Post reacted in writing: "Modi mantra warms Nepal's hearts."[10] The New York Times also suggested the lack of a meeting with former King Gyanendra signified that India would not support a return to monarchy[11] despite the lack of a new constitution of Nepal. The commonality of a majority Hindu heritage was also played up.[12]
