Indian Foreign Policy

India's foreign policy seeks to safeguard the country's enlightened self-interest. The primary objective of India's foreign policy is to promote and maintain a peaceful and stable external environment in which the domestic tasks of inclusive economic development and poverty alleviation can progress rapidly and without obstacles. Given the high priority attached by the Government of India to socio-economic development, India has a vital stake in a supportive external environment both in our region and globally. India, therefore, seeks a peaceful periphery and works for good neighbourly relations in its extended neighbourhood. India's foreign policy also recognizes that the issues such as climate change and energy and food security that are crucial to India's transformation are global and require global cooperative solutions.

In modern times, Mahatma Gandhi and Saad Zaghloul shared common goals on the independence of their countries, a relationship that was to blossom into an exceptionally close friendship between Gamal Abdel Nasser and Jawaharlal Nehru, leading to a Friendship Treaty between the two countries in 1955. The Non-Aligned Movement, led by Nehru and Nasser, was a natural concomitant of this relationship.

Embassy of India, Warsaw***Lithuania: Bilateral Brief I Historical Background It is widely acknowledged that the Lithuanian and Sanskrit languages have much in common. Lithuanian, being the Indo-European language grammatically closest to Sanskrit, signifies possible close ancient links. Experts suggest that more than 100 root words (and 10,000 derivatives) may be common between the two languages. Until conversion to Christianity in 13th century, the people in Lithuania worshipped nature and had a trinity of gods - Perkunas, Patrimpas, and Pikuolis. In more recent times, the first direct knowledge about India reached Lithuania through Lithuanian Christian missionaries who started serving in India since the 16th century. A prominent Lithuanian philosopher and ideologue of the 19th century national movement, Vydunas (real name Vilhelmas Storost, 1868-1953; also known as the Mahatma Gandhi of Lithuania) was extremely interested in Indian philosophy and he even created his own philosophi…

Beware of Amended Payment Instructions The Embassy of India has learnt that several Indian companies and their trade partners have been victims of cyber crimes resulting in fraudulent transfer of their funds to fake bank accounts in Poland.

All Indian businessmen and potential investors are, therefore, advised to exercise caution and make inquiries before making any payments to their trade partners and also to the exporters/importers that they are dealing with. Even in the case of e-mail requests from the partner companies for making advance payments for goods sold, companies are advised to ensure by phone and other channels that the email received is from the genuine partner company.

Message from Ambassador

India is resolutely on the path to sustained economic growth. Our new Government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is committed to a pragmatic, incremental and unflinching approach to reforming the Indian economy and making it easier to invest and manufacture across India. According to a recent report in ‘The Economist, while other emerging markets may be slowing down, India ‘’can take wing and become the global economy’s high flyer’’. India’s new Government came to power in May 2014, with a strong mandate for change, growth and jobs. Major economic reforms are on its agenda. Already, 14 regulatory systems have been merged into one to ease doing business. ‘’Plug and Play’’ in infrastructure investment and visa on arrival for 150 countries, will make it easier for global investors to land in India and find ready-to-go projects in our states.

Commercial Advisory

Economic & Commerce wing Embassy of India Warsaw No. WAR/COM/208/08/2015 - 18/05/2015 It has been brought to the notice of the Embassy that some Indian companies and their trade partners have been victims of cyber-crime resulting in transfer of their funds to fake bank accounts in Poland. The cyber-hackers have apparently been interceding in on-going email communications, inserting fake emails to the Indian companies, asking them to transfer funds to accounts in Polish banks. The Embassy is seized of this matter and has taken it up strongly with the Polish authorities. We would like to advise Indian companies to be cautious of emails amending earlier payment instructions and requesting them to transfer funds to bank accounts in Poland. Companies are advised to check with the bank concerned in Poland and also with the Embassy before complying with any sudden requests for remittance of funds to bank accounts based in Poland. ***

Earlier, all students interested in taking a medical qualification from outside India were required to get an eligibility certificate from the government before leaving for their studies.

It is impossible not to be astonished by India’s incredible diversity. Nowhere on Earth does humanity present itself in such a dizzying, creative burst of cultures and religions, races and languages. Every aspect of the country presents itself on a massive, exaggerated scale, worthy in comparison only to the superlative mountains that overshadow it. Perhaps the only thing more difficult than to be indifferent to India would be to describe or understand India completely. Location, Geography, & Climate Set apart from the rest of Asia by the supreme continental wall of the Himalayas, the Indian subcontinent touches three large bodies of water and is immediately recognizable on any world map. This thick, roughly triangular peninsula defines the Bay of Bengal to the east, the Arabian sea to the west, and the India Ocean to the south.
