India and Kuwait share a long-standing and warm relationship, rooted in history and fortified by cultural affinities. With over a million Indians residing in Kuwait, the ties between the two countries have thrived, bolstered by geographic proximity and historical trade links. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs notes that until 1961, the Indian Rupee served as the legal tender in Kuwait, emphasizing the historical depth of their economic connections.

Historically, trade has been a cornerstone of Indo-Kuwaiti relations. India consistently ranks among Kuwait’s top ten trading partners, with bilateral trade amounting to USD 6.2 billion in 2015-16.
