Poland is looking to significantly deepen its engagement with India, particularly in defence cooperation and green technology, as New Delhi’s economic growth and global standing continue to rise, according to Poland’s Deputy Foreign Minister Wladyslaw Bartoszewski.
Highlighting the positive momentum in bilateral ties, Bartoszewski said India and Poland are building on their strategic partnership signed in 2024, calling the relationship wide-ranging and future-oriented. He emphasised that cooperation now spans business, politics, security, technology and innovation, with several high-level exchanges planned in the coming months.
He noted that both countries are actively exploring collaboration in military technology, including advanced systems and the possibility of joint production under India’s “Make in India” framework. Defence cooperation, he said, remains a key priority as both nations address evolving security challenges.
Green technology is another major area of focus. Poland is rapidly transitioning its energy sector from coal to renewable sources, investing in nuclear energy, offshore wind farms, biogas and water treatment technologies. Bartoszewski expressed strong interest in partnering with India on renewable energy solutions, including green hydrogen, energy storage and sustainable infrastructure.
Digital cooperation also features prominently in the partnership. Poland’s experience in e-governance, high-tech IT solutions and digital public services aligns well with India’s expanding digital ecosystem, creating opportunities for deeper collaboration in information and communication technologies.
On trade, Bartoszewski welcomed the India–EU free trade agreement, stating that lower tariffs and stronger economic engagement benefit both sides. He described India as a serious global economic power and a natural partner for Europe due to its market size, technological advancement and democratic credentials.
Commenting on global issues, he acknowledged India’s growing role on the international stage and said cooperation with New Delhi is essential for addressing geopolitical challenges, regional security and economic stability.
Bartoszewski concluded by stressing that India and Poland share strong complementarities and mutual trust, adding that the potential for cooperation between the two countries is vast and still unfolding.
