மெயின்ஸ்
GS-II (International Relations): India's engagement with Central and Eastern Europe is growing, with trade and defence cooperation as the main drivers. Poland is an EU and NATO member bordering Ukraine, so India must balance its strategic autonomy and its stand on the Russia-Ukraine conflict with deeper European partnerships. The way forward is to widen economic and defence ties while continuing to back dialogue and diplomacy for peace.
