”My visit to Poland comes as we mark 70 years of our diplomatic relations. Poland is a key economic partner in Central Europe. Our mutual commitment to democracy and pluralism further reinforces our relationship,” he said.
Mr Modi said he looks forward to meeting ”my friend” Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Andrzej Duda to further advance bilateral partnership. He said he will also engage with the members of the vibrant Indian community in Poland.
”From Poland, I will be visiting Ukraine at the invitation of President Zelenskyy. This is the first-ever visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Ukraine,” he noted.
The PM’s visit to Ukraine is being seen as an attempt by India to balance its ties with the war-ravaged nation, weeks after Kyiv condemned him for hugging President Vladimir Putin during a visit to Moscow.
