Singh, who is visiting the Himalayan Kingdom after recent elections for the 47-member national Parliament, will address a joint session of the Parliament of Bhutan, a spokesperson for the ministry of external affairs said.
The Bhutan Peace and Prosperity Party, (BPPP) which was backed by the monarch himself, had won 45 seats on the elections held on March 24.
Singh will commission the 1020 MW Tala hydroelectric power project, which has been built with India's cooperation and support. New Delhi, as in most of the other hydroelectric projects and all major developmental projects in the Himalayan state, had extended a huge loan and aid for this project.
During his visit, Singh will also meet King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and his father Jigme Singe Wangchuck, who is considered the architect of democratic Bhutan. King Jigme Wangchuk, who started out as the youngest monarch in the world, is credited with slowly abdicating the role of monarchy over the years in favour of peoples' rule and leading the country to modernity.
He conceptualised the first election and also won international acclaim for coining the term "Gross national happiness" as against in the "gross domestic product" which is used as indicator of economic well-being of a country.
Singh would also meet Bhutanese Prime Minister Lyonchen Jigme Y Thinley and discuss bilateral issues, including India's development cooperation with Bhutan. The landlocked country is dependent on India for trade and access.
He is also likely to lay the foundation of the 1095 MW Punatsangchhu hydroelectric project, which is a joint venture between Indian and Bhutan.
