1On August 28th, 959, Nehru said in the Wolesi Jirga (the lower house of the Indian Parliament) that India should ensure Bhutan's national defense and the security of its border areas. Nehru declared that this would defend Bhutan's relative independence. So far, Bhutan's national defense and diplomacy have been guided by India. During the subsequent exchange of visits between the two countries, the Indian Prime Minister repeatedly reiterated his respect for Bhutan's independent status. This also marks the further development of relations between the two countries, which is a "friendly relationship" under the new situation.
1968, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi (daughter of Nehru) visited Bhutan. In the same year, Bhutan accepted India's proposal that the Indian government send a diplomatic ambassador to Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan. This is a major move, because it is the first time that Bhutan has allowed foreign diplomats to work in its own territory. This is a good decision, which is conducive to political, economic and cultural exchanges between the two countries. Finally, Bhutan also sent an ambassador to the Indian capital. 1971May, the king sent Rob Baima Wang Qiu to New Delhi, the capital of India, to present his credentials to India. Bandung taught Real Madrid to submit credentials to Bhutan and became Bhutan's ambassador to India. The contact between King Bhutan III and Nehru's father and daughter maintained Bhutan's independent status and strengthened the relations between the two countries. This is also a very difficult thing. After all, we know that Sikkim was annexed by India in the 1970s.
