With Bashar al-Assad's regime overthrown, India-Syria relations face uncertainty. Syria has supported India on key issues, especially Kashmir, and backed India’s decision to revoke Article 370 in 2019. India, in turn, supported Syria’s claims to the Golan Heights and promoted a peaceful Syrian-led resolution during its civil war. The fall of Assad raises fears of extremist groups regaining strength, posing security risks for India. Despite the turmoil, India maintains its embassy in Damascus and prioritises Syria’s sovereignty. Economic ties, including trade and IT collaborations, remain vital as India monitors developments closely to safeguard mutual interests.
