India-Poland Relationship: First visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Poland in 45 years
Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to visit Poland on August 21-22 at the invitation of his Polish counterpart, Donald Tusk. MEA Secretary (West) Tanmaya Lal referred to this visit as a “landmark,” noting it as the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Poland in 45 years.

Adam Pustelnik, the Deputy Mayor of Lodz, expressed his enthusiasm for Prime Minister Modi’s upcoming visit to Poland and shared his high expectations for its outcomes. He mentioned that PM Modi is anticipated to engage in talks with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Andrzej Duda.

Regarding his expectations for Prime Minister Modi’s visit, Pustelnik stated, I’m very, very happy that Prime Minister Modi is coming to our country and that he will engage in dialogue with our key leaders, including the Prime Minister and the President. I think it’s a truly unique moment. It’s difficult for me to formulate expectations. Instead, I would ask what we can do for India and how we can contribute to our mutual relations and growth. I believe this visit is one of the most important in recent times, and I have very high hopes for its results,  he claimed.

Amit Lath, Vice President of the Indo-Polish Chamber of Commerce and a Pravasi Bharatiya awardee, characterized Prime Minister Modi’s forthcoming visit to Poland as  historic.  He highlighted that this visit offers numerous opportunities for enhanced collaboration between the two countries.

This is a historic visit, as an Indian Prime Minister is visiting Poland after 45 years. The last visit was by Morarji Desai in 1979. This milestone is an important step forward for India and Poland to build a strong partnership. Poland, often referred to as the ‘tiger of the economy’ in Central Europe, is among the top five economies in Europe. Poland’s strategic location allows it to serve Central, Eastern, and Western Europe effectively. During this visit, I am confident that many areas of collaboration and cooperation will be discussed, benefiting both governments and businesses, he was quoted as saying to news agency ANI.
