India and Haiti have maintained diplomatic relations since 1950, with the most visible strand of cooperation being India's humanitarian response to Haiti's devastating 2010 earthquake and its participation in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). Bilateral commercial ties are very limited, with India primarily serving as a pharmaceutical exporter to Haiti's fragile health system. Haiti's ongoing political and security crises present significant challenges to any deepening of the relationship.

CURRENT STATE
Where things stand, 2026
Haiti's severe political, security and humanitarian crisis severely limits the scope of the India-Haiti relationship. Pharmaceutical exports continue as the primary commercial link. Humanitarian assistance remains an important channel through which India maintains engagement. No major bilateral initiative is feasible in the current environment; the relationship is effectively on hold pending stabilisation.
