Foreign Policy
Bhutan's foreign policy is deeply intertwined with India under their bilateral Treaty of Friendship. India provides security, economic aid, and hydropower development partnerships. Bhutan has limited diplomatic representation globally, maintaining embassies in only a handful of countries.
Bhutan is a champion of environmental conservation -- it is one of the few carbon-negative countries in the world, with over 70% forest cover constitutionally mandated. Border negotiations with China have continued intermittently.
