How did the 1910 treaty with Great Britain affect Bhutan’s foreign affairs?

Under the 1910 treaty with Great Britain, the Bhutanese government agreed to be guided by the British in its external affairs. In exchange for this concession, Bhutan received an increased annual subsidy and a commitment from the British to refrain from interfering in the country’s internal affairs. This agreement effectively oriented Bhutan toward British-ruled India in the following decades, although the nation maintained significant trade ties with Tibet.12
