India and Mexico have a long history of relationship, based on historical, cultural, and economic similarities. Both nations have varying geo-climatic conditions, rich diversity, and a similar civilizational legacy. Diplomatic relations were created between India and Mexico in 1950, making Mexico the first Latin American nation to establish relations with independent India.  2025 will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the India-Mexico relationship which will thus mark the diamond jubilee of a lasting partnership and the march of mutual benefit and growth (Embassy of India, Mexico City, 2025).
