Djibouti

Historical linkages, cultural affinities and people to people contact between Djibouti and India dates back prior to India’s independence in 1947 and Djibouti’s independence in 1977. Indian seafarers and traders from Gujarat and Kerala frequently visited the port of Adulis for trading in spices and silk for gold and ivory. The Honorary Consul of India started functioning in Djibouti in 1969 before Djibouti’s independence in 1977. While Djibouti opened its Embassy in New Delhi in 2004, India opened its resident Mission in Djibouti in 2019.
