Jaishankar holds talks with his Polish counterpart

India and Poland on Thursday agreed to confront terrorism in all its forms, particularly cross-border terrorism, as External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar discussed a wide range of issues including security, defence and economy with his Polish counterpart here.

Jaishankar, who arrived here on Wednesday after a two-day visit to Russia, and his Polish counterpart Jacek Czaputowicz held talks in a warm atmosphere, drawing attention to the long lasting friendship of the two strong democracies.

"I had detailed discussions with the foreign minister on many subjects of bilateral, regional and multilateral importance to our countries," Jaishankar said in a joint press statement alongside Czaputowicz.

"As two democratic polities facing turbulent world, it is important that we stand together in facing global challenges. Displaying resolute posture to confront the menace of terrorism is among the key priorities today," he said.

A joint statement later said Czaputowicz "expressed the commitment of Poland to support global efforts to combat terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, particularly cross-border terrorism, as well to tackle the most urgent security problems: WMD proliferation, maritime and aviation security, cyber security, energy security, humanitarian issues, refugees and human rights."
