India, France, Germany and Poland Hold Candid Talks on Ukraine, Indo-Pacific

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has marked a significant diplomatic milestone by participating in India’s first-ever engagement in the Weimar Triangle format with France, Germany and Poland. Describing the discussions as short but deep, Jaishankar said the talks focused on three critical areas: India-European Union relations, the Indo-Pacific, and the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Jaishankar underlined that India’s expanding engagement with Europe, both through the European Union and bilateral partnerships, naturally creates space for smaller, flexible groupings like the Weimar Triangle. He argued that among India’s major global relationships, ties with Europe hold the greatest untapped potential, with many new areas of cooperation waiting to be explored.

Set against a backdrop of global churn and an increasingly multipolar world, the minister stressed the importance of regular exchanges between countries from different regions, each bringing distinct perspectives. Volatility and uncertainty, he noted, make a strong case for deeper collaboration among like-minded partners.

Earlier, Jaishankar also held bilateral talks with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, reviewing the India-France strategic partnership and discussing enhanced cooperation across sectors. He reiterated India’s expectation of welcoming French President Emmanuel Macron soon, calling the day’s engagements highly productive and indicative of growing strategic alignment with key European powers.
