India–Switzerland relations, or Indo-Swiss relations, refers to the bilateral relationship between the Republic of India and Switzerland.

History[edit]

The first diplomatic engagement between the countries was a Treaty of Friendship signed at New Delhi on 14 August 1948. Diplomatic missions between the two countries were opened in Bern and Delhi soon after its conclusion. Switzerland established its Consulates General in Mumbai and Bengaluru. India has a Consulate General in Geneva.^[1]

Visits[edit]

Narendra Modi visited Geneva in 2016 to strengthen the bilateral relations of the two countries.^[2] He raised the black money issue with Swiss Government and secured its support for the Indian claim to NSG membership^[3] which later Switzerland refuted and took a U-turn on India's NSG (Nuclear Supppliers Group) bid.^[4]

Later, the Swiss President Doris Leuthard visited New Delhi, India in August 2017 to improve relations.
