Treaty of Punakha
The Treaty of Punakha was signed in January 1910 between Bhutan and British India. Britain doubled Bhutan's annual subsidy and promised not to interfere in its internal affairs, while Bhutan agreed to be guided by Britain in its external relations. The treaty secured British India's northern frontier against Chinese influence, and its terms were largely carried over into Bhutan's 1949 treaty with independent India.
