He also welcomed the improving relationship between India and China. “The defence minister of China recently visited India and the two countries agreed upon a joint military exercise that has been discontinued for the last eight years. When the two collaborate then we have reasons for warming up. We should all welcome that,” he told the media.

Thinley expressed his happiness for the hospitality of the State officials and also spoke about the sites like the Peace Pagoda at Dhauli and the Konark Sun Temple he visited. He further added, “I go back from Odisha with a deep sense of satisfaction. I had read a lot about the state and have also seen many pictures of the state but after coming here I realized it is as beautiful as it was described. I visited Konark Sun temple and mesmerized by its architecture.”
