Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday departed for his three-day visit to Poland and Ukraine hoping for an early return of peace and stability in the region. “Today, I am embarking on an official visit to the Republic of Poland and Ukraine. My visit to Poland comes as we mark 70 years of our diplomatic relations. Poland is a key economic partner in Central Europe,” said the Prime Minister in his departure statement. He further said that our mutual commitment to democracy and pluralism further reinforces our relationship. “I look forward to meeting my friend Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Andrzej Duda to further advance our partnership. I will also engage with the members of the vibrant Indian community in Poland,” he added.
“From Poland, I will be visiting Ukraine at the invitation of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This is the first-ever visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Ukraine. I look forward to the opportunity to build upon earlier conversations with President Zelenskyy on strengthening bilateral cooperation and share perspectives on peaceful resolution of the ongoing Ukraine conflict. As a friend and partner, we hope for an early return of peace and stability in the region,” the Prime Minister further said.
“I am confident that the visit will serve as a natural continuation of extensive contacts with the two countries and help create the foundation for stronger and more vibrant relations in the years ahead,” Prime Minister Modi said.
