Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Polish counterpart Donald Tusk have strongly condemned terrorism and violent extremism. During their meeting in New Delhi, both leaders urged the global community to work towards eliminating terrorist safe havens and infrastructure.
They emphasized the need for strong, united action against all terrorist groups, including those sanctioned by the UN Security Council.
The leaders also stressed the importance of multilateralism and called for significant reforms within the United Nations. This includes expanding the UN Security Council, both in permanent and non-permanent member categories, to ensure its continued relevance and effectiveness. Poland explicitly supported India’s bid for a permanent seat in a reformed UNSC and its candidature for a non-permanent seat in 2028-29.
Discussions also covered the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, with both leaders expressing deep concern over its humanitarian impact and calling for a just and lasting peace based on international law. They highlighted the conflict’s negative effects on global food and energy security, particularly for developing nations. Furthermore, Modi and Tusk reaffirmed their commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific region, inviting Poland to join India’s Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative (IPOI).
