Modi echoed the sentiment during a press conference, promoting dialogue and diplomacy for peace and stability in the region. India’s stance on advocating for a negotiated settlement between Ukraine and Russia has been clear, opposing Western sanctions on Moscow.

India’s Balancing Act

While maintaining ties with Russia, India has also pursued security partnerships with Western countries as a counterbalance to China. Modi’s recent visit with Russian President Vladimir Putin stirred controversy, with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy criticizing Modi’s meeting with Putin as detrimental to peace efforts.

Despite the criticism, Modi’s visit to Poland elevated the partnership to a “strategic” level, emphasizing cooperation in various sectors. The leaders signed agreements to enhance collaboration, including the mobility of specialized workers between the two countries.

Overall, Modi’s visit highlighted India’s growing economic and strategic ties with Poland, contributing to regional stability and partnership.
