Prime Minister Narendra Modi has broken his silence on the recent explosion outside Delhi's historic Red Fort, delivering a strong message that all those responsible for the attack will be brought to justice. The statement came just ahead of his two-day diplomatic visit to Bhutan, marking a significant moment in India's security and foreign policy landscape.
Strong Stance on Security
In his first public comments addressing the security incident at one of India's most iconic monuments, Prime Minister Modi asserted that the perpetrators would not escape justice. The firm declaration came through an official statement published on his website, narendramodi.com, on November 11, 2025.
The Prime Minister's statement served dual purposes - addressing domestic security concerns while simultaneously preparing for an important international engagement. The timing underscores the government's ability to handle multiple critical issues simultaneously, balancing internal security matters with diplomatic responsibilities.
Bhutan Visit: Strengthening Historic Ties
Modi's visit to Bhutan, scheduled for December 11 and 12, 2025, holds special significance as it coincides with the 70th birth anniversary of Bhutan's King. The Prime Minister expressed his honor in joining the celebrations, emphasizing the deep-rooted friendship between the two neighboring nations.
Through his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Modi outlined the agenda for his visit, which includes high-level meetings with His Majesty the King of Bhutan, His Majesty the Fourth King, and Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay. These discussions are expected to cover a wide range of bilateral issues and cooperative initiatives.
Energy Partnership Boost
A major highlight of the visit will be the inauguration of the Punatsangchhu-II hydropower project, which Modi described as a "big boost to our energy partnership." This project represents the continuing cooperation between India and Bhutan in the renewable energy sector, building on existing hydropower collaborations.
The Prime Minister expressed optimism that his visit would "deepen our bonds of friendship and strengthen our efforts towards shared progress and prosperity." He further noted that the timing is particularly meaningful given the royal celebrations in Bhutan, adding that the visit "will add new vigour to our bilateral relations."
The diplomatic engagement comes at a crucial time for regional cooperation and demonstrates India's continued commitment to its 'Neighbourhood First' policy. The simultaneous handling of domestic security concerns and international diplomacy showcases the government's multi-faceted approach to governance and foreign relations.
