What happened
Prime Minister Donald Tusk arrived in India on October 21, leading a significant business delegation of around 100 companies. Reports indicate that bilateral trade between Poland and India reached US$6.36 billion in 2025. Despite this, Polish investment in India stands at around US$750 million, while Indian IT firms employ nearly 10,000 Polish professionals in Poland.

Why it matters
Poland is India's largest trading and investment partner in Central and Eastern Europe. However, the trade flow is lopsided, with Polish imports from India (€4.32 billion) significantly exceeding Polish exports (€1.37 billion). The visit aims to address the low Polish investment figure and signal readiness for greater investment.
Donald Tusk is planning a visit to India this fall, amidst discussions of the India-EU FTA and bilateral trade targets of $6 billion yearly.
