In recent years, India has steadily strengthened its relations with all the countries of the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region, with the relationship progressing across several areas, including trade and investment, agriculture, DPIs (Digital Public Infrastructure), Pharmaceuticals, capacity building, and people-to-people ties, and is marked by dynamic development partnership and strong cooperation at regional and multilateral fora such as CARICOM (Caribbean Community), SICA (Central American Integration System) and CELAC (Community of Latin American and Caribbean States).
During the last year, India has opened its Mission in Bolivia, while Honduras and St Kitts and Nevis have opened their Missions in Delhi. The increased political engagement over the last year has also provided renewed momentum to our relationships.
