He also highlighted Bhutan’s ambitious Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) project as a model of sustainability, acknowledging the significant support Modi has provided. “GMC will be the legacy of two enlightened leaders, strengthening Bhutan-India relations and creating global opportunities,” Tobgay noted.
