According CBI's official press communiqué, the visit is a part of CBI's effort to forge organisation-to-organisation ties with other international agencies to ensure better cooperation in checking cross border crime and apprehending fugitives.

Remarking on the importance of the visit by Bhutan delegation, CBI Director Alok Kumar Verma said, "CBI's experience and competency in fighting corruption, organised crime and economic frauds can be of great value to our sister agencies in neighbouring countries. We are engaged with Bhutan in capacity building and experience sharing. I feel this cooperation will be mutually beneficial since fighting economic crimes today transcends traditional boundaries."
