In February, Tobgay had visited Guwahati to participate in an investors’ summit on the sidelines of which he and Modi had held talks. Troops of India and China were locked in a 73-day-long standoff in Doka La from 16 June last year after the Indian side stopped construction of a road at the disputed Doka La tri-junction by the Chinese army. Bhutan and China have a dispute over Doka La. The face-off ended on 28 August. China and Bhutan are engaged in talks over the resolution of the dispute in the area.
