During his stay in Poland, PM Modi will meet President Andrzej Sebastian Duda and hold bilateral talks with Prime Minister Donald Tusk
"My visit to Poland comes as we mark 70 years of our diplomatic relations. Poland is a key economic partner in Central Europe," he said
"Our mutual commitment to democracy and pluralism further reinforces our relationship. I look forward to meeting my friend Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Andrzej Duda to further advance our partnership," PM Modi said
From Warsaw, PM Modi will travel to Kyiv on the first visit by an Indian prime minister to Ukraine since the country became independent in 1991
