India-Switzerland Relations

According to a statement from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), India and Switzerland have had cordial and friendly relations since India's Independence, based on shared values of democracy and rule of law.

India's policy of non-alignment and Switzerland's traditional policy of neutrality led to a close understanding between the two countries.

Diplomatic relations with Switzerland were established with the signing of the Treaty of Friendship at New Delhi on 14 August, 1948; one of the first such treaties to be signed by independent India. (ANI)
