India-Tajikistan bilateral relations have steadily grown and diversified in many fields. Since 2012, both countries have elevated their ties to the level of strategic partnership.
There have been several exchanges of visits at the highest level between the two countries. Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had visited Tajikistan in 2003, while incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the nation in 2015 as part of his visit to all the five Central Asian countries.
The last visit to Tajikistan by President of India was by Pratibha Patil in 2009. Meanwhile, President Rahmon has visited India five times, his last visit being in December 2016.
