Arunachal Pradesh and Bhutan have agreed to boost tourism through mutual co-operation. A five-member Poverty Reduction Committee of Bhutan's National Assembly, led by its chairman Mr Dupthop, who visited the State recently, discussed the matter with the Chief Minister, Mr Nabam Tuki, official sources said on Wednesday.

Pointing out that Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh had several similarities culturally and geographically, Mr Tuki said that construction of a road from Tawang to Bhutan was progressing at a rapid pace and sought the Bhutan Government's cooperation to speed up work in its territory.
