PM Modi said that today we have agreed to deepen relations in defence, space and nuclear energy. In all these strategic areas we invite Polish companies to co-develop and co-produce with India. Our ties in the field of IT and cyber security are already strong, and many Indian IT companies are operating in Poland. Taking this collaboration forward, we have decided to establish an 'India-Poland Startup Bridge'. We will also organize a technology hackathon for the youth of both the countries. These initiatives will give new impetus to our cooperation in the fields of AI, cyber, fintech and other emerging technologies. Once this agreement is implemented, new opportunities will open for export of machinery, chemicals, plastics and engineering goods from India to Poland. We will also attract new investments from Poland in sectors such as railways and mobility, advanced manufacturing, food processing and biotechnology.
Modi said, today, the world is going through a period of uncertainty and change. Even in such times, both India and Poland are emerging as important centers of development, technology and innovation. Both India and Poland believe in democratic values and rule of law. We believe that reform is necessary to make global governance institutions more powerful and effective. Be it Ukraine or Western Asia, India will continue to support every meaningful effort made towards peace.
