Recently, Israel has established diplomatic ties with Bhutan.
Key takeaways
Earlier, Israel has supported Bhutanese human resource development since 1982, especially in the area of agriculture development that has benefited hundreds of Bhutanese youths.
The two nations established a formal diplomatic relation and agreed to work closely together in various sectors.
The two sides will not be setting up embassies and will coordinate through their missions in Delhi.
The establishment of diplomatic relations would create new avenues for cooperation between the two countries in water management, technology, human resource development, agricultural sciences and other areas of mutual benefit.
As for tourism, Bhutan that limits the number of outsiders who can enter will now likely be more open to Israelis.
The ties between the peoples through cultural exchanges and tourism would also be further enhanced.
