India–Latin America relations

[10] In recent years, India has sought to improve relations with Latin America as part of its overall desire to be a leader on the world stage.

[11] Latin America for its part has sought stronger ties with India as it has moved from a Western-oriented foreign policy in previous centuries to a more multipolar approach.

[19] Weak transport capability and above-average tariffs are said to be significant factors holding India-Latin America trade back.

A greater number of Latin American actors have also begun applying for Indian visas to act in Bollywood films.

[25] At the turn of the postcolonial era, literary exchanges occurred, with Indian writers such as Rabindranath Tagore and Latin Americans such as Victoria Ocampo being read by the other side;[2] Octavio Paz, a Mexican ambassador to India in the 1960s, played a significant role in initiating these ties.
