India Rebukes Poland Over Terror Concerns and Russia Dispute in Tense New Delhi Visit

The public warning followed Poland’s outreach to Pakistan alongside criticism of India’s Russian oil purchases.

Overview

  • External affairs minister S. Jaishankar urged Poland to show zero tolerance for terrorism and not help fuel terrorist infrastructure in India’s neighbourhood, a pointed reference to Warsaw’s recent Pakistan engagement.
  • Jaishankar reiterated that what he called the selective targeting of India over its Russia policy is unfair and unjustified, referencing prior exchanges in New York and Paris.
  • Polish deputy prime minister Radosław Sikorski agreed on countering transnational terrorism and cited recent attacks on Polish infrastructure, while flagging concerns over India’s ties with Russia and its participation in Zapad 2025.
  • Coverage described the visit as tense, with Sikorski abruptly ending a media interview when pressed on Pakistan-related questions.
  • Despite frictions, both sides reviewed the 2024–28 Action Plan and affirmed the strategic partnership, highlighting roughly $7 billion in trade and over $3 billion in Indian investment in Poland.
