India and Djibouti share long historical and cultural links going long back to India’s independence in 1947 and Djibouti’s independence in 1977. In ancient times, Djiboutian traders traded in hides and skins for Indian perfumes and spices. The port of Edulis was the hub of maritime trade where Indian seafarers have flocked trading in spices and silk for gold and ivory. The people of Djibouti are born from a contact among the cultures of East Africa, the Arab peninsula and the Indian sub-continent. Present day relations received a boost with the visit of the President of Djibouti to India in May 2003. India provided humanitarian assistance worth US$ 1 million in the form of wheat, rice and medicine to meet the requirements arising from drought in 2003.
