India-Rwanda bilateral relations have been given impetus by several bilateral institutional mechanisms.

Bilateral relations between India and Rwanda have been cordial and have grown steadily over the years. In 1999, Rwanda officially opened its Mission in New Delhi and appointed its first resident Ambassador in 2001.
Rwanda joined the Commonwealth in 2009, even though it had not been a British protectorate or colony. India opened its resident Mission in Kigali on August 15, 2018.
