He said India's commitment to Bhutan will "continue undiluted and the Indian government stands ready to extend every cooperation".
"Bilateral relations between India and Bhutan are unique. Historical and cultural linkages as well as civilisational bonds between the two countries make them natural friends and partners," Mukherjee said.
