We will be supplying India with both attack drones and reconnaissance drones. Why? Because Polish drones tested in Ukraine are considered quite good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Responding to a query about India being upset over a joint statement issued by Poland and Pakistan in November last year that referred to Kashmir, he said it was a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n<p>\u015awitalski added, \u201cWe have no real problem saying India is doing right in pursuing terrorists and hitting them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theprint.in\/diplomacy\/polish-drones-used-by-india-in-op-sindoor-no-disagreement-on-terrorism-envoy-piotr-switalski\/2865209\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u2018India is doing right, pursuing terrorists &amp; hitting them,\u2019 says Polish envoy \u015awitalski<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Defence the focus<\/p>\n<p>He said Poland wants not just to sell, but also to buy defence systems from India.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to sell and buy Indian weaponry and military systems, unlike with any other country in the region, including Pakistan. And that is a statement which is, I think, in political terms, quite strong,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to queries on defence cooperation, the Polish ambassador said officials from the two defence ministries would be meeting soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, there are different ideas in the discussion. Very concrete ideas. Of course, I don\u2019t want to disclose everything\u2026 For instance, one example I can give you, because it\u2019s on the table: one big Indian company wants to build a huge munitions factory in Poland. And it\u2019s serious. And it\u2019s very concrete\u201d, the ambassador said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo we need munitions? Yes, we do. We neglected the issue. Our arsenals suddenly look empty,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that there are \u201cinteresting and very concrete ideas\u201d under discussion by both sides.<\/p>\n<p>However, he said that at times partnerships may not materialise despite intentions.<\/p>\n<p>\u015awitalski said Poland\u2019s state-run company was looking for a partner in the electric vehicle sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor instance, it\u2019s not a secret that our state company in Poland is looking for a partner on electric vehicles. We initially looked at China, but it didn\u2019t work out. Don\u2019t ask me why. So, of course, we look to India,\u201d \u015awitalski said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Indian companies do not currently see a place for Poland and for Europe as such in their strategy. Then, probably, we will go to Vietnam, although our preference is India. We understand you have different business strategies. Why should you suddenly change them because Poland is interested? So, no offence,\u201d the ambassador added.<\/p>\n<p>(Edited by Shashank Kishan)<\/p>\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theprint.in\/opinion\/operation-sindoor-pakistan-nuclear-command\/2863515\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Op Sindoor shifted something in Pakistani nuclear command structure.
