India and Saint Kitts and Nevis maintain cordial but limited diplomatic relations since the island federation's independence in 1983. Ties are channelled primarily through Commonwealth and CARICOM multilateral frameworks. Indian pharmaceutical exports form the principal trade flow, and a small Indian diaspora — largely professionals and traders — maintains a cultural presence. India accredited its High Commission in Trinidad and Tobago as concurrent to Saint Kitts and Nevis.
