Diplomatic relations between Venezuela and India were established in 1959; since then, they have maintained solid ties of friendship and strategic commercial cooperation, characterized by cordiality, complementarity and mutual respect between peoples

With the arrival of the Bolivarian Revolution, Caracas and New Delhi have been responsible for strengthening their alliances by signing agreements, thanks to which there are products from the Indian pharmaceutical industry and other items, such as iron pellets and electrical cables, among others; and Indian businessmen have visited the South American country, who have invested in different areas.

This South Asian country belongs to the BRICS economic group (initially formed by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), being one of the nations of the international block of great importance for Venezuela.
