Singh will have an audience with Bhutan's King Jigme Singye Wangchuk and hold discussions with his counterpart Lyonpo Khandu Wangchuk and senior officials of the Royal Government.
The visit is in keeping with the tradition of regular high-level exchanges between India and Bhutan, it was officially stated here. Singh's last visit to Bhutan was in October, 2004.
