Amidst a packed itinerary of global summits in New Delhi, PM Narendra Modi shared strategic insights with Bhutan’s Prime Minister Dasho Tshering on Wednesday, emphasizing AI’s role in elevating their time-tested alliance.
They assessed achievements in hydropower, cross-border links, collaborative growth programs, and societal bonds. Consensus emerged on promoting equitable AI adoption to empower citizens and drive people-focused innovation. Further momentum in AI-digital tech collaborations was vowed, underpinned by enduring trust and reciprocity between the neighbors.
Tshering’s warm social media note dubbed Modi his ‘big brother,’ congratulating the AI Summit as a Global South triumph, backed by Bhutan’s King, cabinet, and public.
Modi’s engagements spanned Spain’s President Pedro Sanchez—focusing on renewables, infrastructure, startups, defense—followed by sessions with Finland, Serbia, Croatia, Estonia, and Kazakhstan leaders on energy dynamics, rare minerals extraction, connectivity corridors, and Central Asian partnerships.
