Fails WP:GNG. There isn't really much to these relations except diplomatic recognition and a one off donation for a disaster. No state visits, no agreements, no significant trade. LibStar (talk) 05:11, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

-Actually India-Vanuatu relations are more important than you think! Though trade doesn't make much of an impact to India, Vanuatu depennds quite a bit on India for its exports/imports. Agreements were also made when the Vanuatu dignitaries visited India. Overall, India makes quit a bit of an impact on Vanuatu, so we should keep the article.

 * Keep sources indicate that trade relations are growing rapidly between the two countries. Sources substantiate the claim and help the article pass WP:GNG.--TM 12:55, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
 * about 1.5% of Vanuatu's trade is minute, and it is probably about 0.00000001% of India's foreign trade. LibStar (talk) 13:27, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, but this partnership is vital for Vanuatu, especially after India's new pm Modi visited. India-Vanuatu relations are going to new heights this year.(check out the page for more info if you don't believe me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hindian1947 (talk • contribs) 03:03, 30 March 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

I don't think that India's program for cooperation with the Pacific nations should be put into the article on India–Vanuatu relations, unless Vanuatu has been given special mention within this program. This content could perhaps be taken to a new page, India-Oceania relations.

Similarly, the fact that Vanuatu was the only Non-Aligned Movement member in Oceania, with the rest being part of the Western Bloc seems to be a notable fact, but I don't see what it has to do with India.

On the other hand, I think that the foreign aid given from India to Vanuatu recently is notable.

As for trade, this *might* be notable; I haven't made my mind up. Maybe it could be expanded. From this link: While India's exports to Vanuatu was US$ 2.67 million in 2012-13, its imports stood at US$ 5.37 million. Asian Paints had set up a paints factory in Vanuatu. Tatas have exported some 'Sierra' vehicles. About 100 persons of Indian origin, mostly Fijians, are residing in Vanuatu. India has offered Duty Free Tariff Preference (DFTP) Scheme for LCDs to Vanuatu. Orthogonal1 (talk) 09:59, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

 * I think the India-Oceania relations might work, though it wouldn't include NZ and Australia.
 * India was also part of the Non-Aligned Movement. Vanuatu being a member made it have relations with a whole lot more countries. (Soviet Union, India etc.)
 * Trade is obviously growing between the two countries. But I believe it is a core part of their relations as they are pretty far away.

 * being members of the same movement doesn't necessarily add to notability. For example. Many nations are members of United nations but doesn't mean they have notable bilateral relations. LibStar (talk) 15:01, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
 * But this is the Non Aligned Movement! During the cold war. Being the ONLY country in the pacific to join is pretty big. Anyone who joined the NAM was basically a friend of the SU, India and many other countries.
