India and Brunei are linked by history, culture and traditions spanning a millennium. Exchange of regular visits have added to the momentum of the relations.
Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had visited Brunei in 2013 to participate in the 11th ASEAN India Summit and East Asia Summit.
The Sultan of Brunei paid a State visit to India in September 1992 and the Indian resident diplomatic mission was opened in Brunei in 1993.
India is third largest destination for Brunei's exports and the trade volume between the two countries is around USD one billion.

Sustained high-level bilateral exchanges and regular meetings of bilateral institutional mechanisms have provided a major fillip to India-Thailand relations and achieved progress in key areas of cooperation such as security, defence, commerce, science and technology and education.
In the past two decades, with regular political exchanges, growing trade and investment, India's ties with Thailand have evolved into a comprehensive partnership.
The India-ASEAN Agreement on Trade in Goods was implemented in January 2010 and the India-ASEAN FTA in Services and Investments was signed in September 2014 and came into force in July 2015.
