- Poland is a member of both the European Union and NATO.
Mains
GS2: India-Europe relations. Central and Eastern Europe is gaining weight in India's outreach as the strategic partnership with Poland seeks to move from declarations to joint ventures and technology cooperation, supported by MoUs. The way forward is to convert MoUs into investment in defence, manufacturing and digital sectors, and to link this with the India-EU trade and connectivity agenda.
