Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is likely to announce a fairly large grant to Bhutan when he travels there on Friday on a two-day visit, which is aimed at further consolidation of the bilateral energy cooperation. The Prime Minister will hold wide-ranging talks with his Bhutanese counterpart Jigme Y. Thinley on issues of mutual interest, including India's development cooperation with the Himalayan kingdom. The PM will also meet 28-year-old King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and his father, the former King Jigme Singye Wangchuck. Visiting Bhutan in its first year of a constitutional monarchy, he will dedicate the 1,020 MW Tala hydroelectric project to the Bhutanese people, built with Indian assistance, and lay the foundation stone for a 1,095 MW power plant at Punatsangchhu. Bhutan, which has a rich hydropower potential, exports most of the electricity generated to India. New Delhi plans to tap 5,000 MW of the nation's estimated 30,000 MW hydel power potential. All surplus power from the three commissioned hydroelectric projects in Bhutan is being sold to India, foreign secretary Shivshankar Menon told newspersons here while dwelling on the PM's visit. Manmohan is expected to announce a substantial contribution to the country's 10th five-year plan during the visit, Menon said declining to give details. The PM, who will become the first foreign leader to visit the youngest democracy in Asia, will address a joint session of the first elected Parliament of Bhutan. He will get the first opportunity to interact with the new leadership and take forward the decades old relations characterised by close consultations, maturity, complete trust and mutual understanding to new heights. Manmohan's talks with Bhutanese leaders are expected to focus on developing a more diversified and contemporary economic and energy partnership in tune with emerging realities in the two countries.
