India and Bhutan review their development partnership and proceed with support for Bhutan’s 13th Five-Year Plan following the fifth India-Bhutan Development Cooperation Talks. The discussions include an assessment of ongoing projects and cooperation areas tied to Bhutan’s long-term planning priorities, as described by both outlets.
A key outcome is the signing of a Line of Credit (LoC) agreement worth ₹4,000 crore. The LoC is linked to the implementation of development projects under Bhutan’s 13th Five-Year Plan, reflecting continued financing support within the established bilateral framework.
The sources describe India’s commitment as part of the longstanding relationship between the two countries, with the talks serving as a mechanism to review progress and coordinate next steps for future initiatives. While details of specific projects are not laid out in the provided excerpts, both accounts converge on the agreement’s value, the stage of the cooperation talks, and the purpose of the funding in relation to Bhutan’s five-year development priorities.
