Jaishankar Confronts Poland on Terror and 'Selective Targeting' in New Delhi Talks

The visit paired pointed disagreements with a pledge to advance the 2024–28 partnership plan.

Overview

  • India’s external affairs minister urged Poland to show zero tolerance for terrorism and not help fuel terrorist infrastructure in India’s neighbourhood, a message widely read as a warning over Pakistan ties.
  • Polish deputy prime minister Radosław Sikorski agreed on countering cross‑border terrorism and cited a recent attempted attack on a Polish railway line as a shared security concern.
  • Jaishankar reiterated objections to what he called unfair and unjustified selective targeting of India over the RussiaUkraine conflict, referencing recent exchanges in New York and Paris.
  • Both sides reviewed the 2024–28 Action Plan to deepen cooperation in trade, investment, defence, security, clean technologies and digital innovation, with trade reported near $7 billion and Indian investment above $3 billion.
  • Tensions trace to Sikorski’s October 2025 visit to Pakistan and a joint statement that referenced Kashmir, even as the talks set the stage for engagement ahead of the January 27 EUIndia summit.
