West Asia conflict | ‘India’s position is right’: Poland backs India’s stance

Published by Webster

Poland on Monday voiced support for India’s stance on the West Asia conflict, with the Polish Secretary of State and Deputy Foreign Minister Wladyslaw Teofil Bartoszewski terming New Delhi’s approach as the “right position” and stressing that the ongoing crisis should be resolved through diplomacy while ensuring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking to ANI in New Delhi, Bartoszewski said India’s role as a major economy and energy importer made its balanced approach significant amidst the ongoing conflict. He said, “India’s position is the right position because you are a big country, an important country, and you benefit from free access to goods, including oil, and you depend very much on the oil and gas from the Gulf. Poland still maintains contact with Iran… We informed them that our preferred solution is a diplomatic one. So we do the same thing as Prime Minister Modi. We try to talk reason, but to moderate effect, I would say.” On the ongoing West Asia conflict, the Polish minister underlined that international waterways, that is, …
