India is Bhutan’s largest export market, the most important trade partner accounting for 50% of Bhutan’s trade and one of the top foreign investors in the country while Bhutan has been pivotal to the ‘Neighbourhood First Policy’ and the ‘Act-East Policy’. This is facilitated by the geographical proximity of both the countries and absence of any customs duty of Indian products. Tandin Wangchuk , President, Bhutan Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BCCI) and Pradeep Multani, President, PHDCCI agreed that the long standing friendship between India and Bhutan has been further strengthened by bilateral trade and investment opportunities.

Ann Haokip, First Secretary (Commerce), Embassy of India, Bhutan added that recent developments such as the opening of new trade routes and inclusion of new agri-products from Bhutanese exporters are sure to enhance the bilateral trade windows.
Ugen Chozom, Charge d' Affaires, Royal Bhutanese Embassy, New Delhi, pointed out that even during the first and second wave of the coronavirus pandemic, trade between India and Bhutan was not drastically impacted.
