Strengthening ties between India and Bhutan, Prime Ministers Manmohan Singh and Jigmi Y Thinley dedicated the 1020 megawatt Tala Hydroelectric Project in Bhutan's Chukha Valley to the two countries. An impressive and colourful ceremony marked the dedication that followed Singh's address to a joint session of the Bhutan Parliament.
