India raised strong concerns with Poland over what it called selective and unfair targeting linked to New Delhi’s trade with Moscow. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar voiced the issue during talks with Polish Deputy Prime Minister Radoslaw Sikorski in New Delhi.
Jaishankar said pressure tactics through tariffs undermine fair global trade. He stressed that India follows an independent foreign policy on the Ukraine conflict. He added that New Delhi supports dialogue and diplomacy to end the war.
The two leaders reviewed the expanding India-Poland Strategic Partnership. They discussed cooperation in trade, defence, clean energy, security, and digital innovation. Both sides also assessed progress under the Action Plan for 2024 to 2028.
Jaishankar also warned against any support to Pakistan on terrorism-related issues. He urged Poland to adopt zero tolerance toward cross-border terrorism. The remark followed earlier European statements on Kashmir that concerned New Delhi.
Sikorski echoed concerns on selective trade targeting. He warned that such measures could disrupt global markets. He also said Poland has faced security threats, including sabotage attempts, and agreed on the need to counter trans-border terrorism.
Bilateral trade stands near seven billion dollars. Indian investments in Poland exceed three billion dollars. Both sides expressed confidence in deeper future cooperation.
