in 1948 diplomatic ties between India and Brazil were established, right after the country's independence - twenty years later, in 1968 the prime minister of India visited Brazil for the first time showing the great interest in more solid bilateral relations, which were intensified since the 1990s, when the two nations greatly increased correspondence over politics and economics.

areas of mutual interest between India and brasil include politics, multi-cultural coexistence, administration of large territories and increasing populations, which put the two countries in a strategic position to cooperate and share knowledge - many agreements between the two nations have been signed in an effort to increase interaction, such as 'the agreement on cooperation in science, innovation and technology'.
