\u201cEmpathy is one of the identities of Indians. Whenever any trouble mounts in any country, India is the first country to extend help\u2026 When Covid came, India said humanity first\u2026 India helps citizens of other countries. India believes in Buddha\u2019s tradition, therefore, believes in peace not war\u2026 India is an advocate of peace in this region and it is clear that this is not time for war. We need to be together to fight challenges. India focuses on diplomacy and dialogue,\u201d Modi said during his Poland visit.<\/p>\n

Modi will visit Ukraine nearly six weeks after his high-profile trip to Russia which triggered criticism from the US and some of its Western allies.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday\u2019s India wants to connect with all. Today\u2019s India talks about the development of all. Today\u2019s India is with all and thinks about the interests of all,\u201d Modi told the Indian diaspora.<\/p>\n

Modi also lauded Indian community members for helping Indian students who were stuck in Ukraine when the war erupted in 2022. He also thanked the Poland government for opening doors for Indian students and removing visa restrictions.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou people helped the Indian students who were stuck in Ukraine. We all have witnessed it. You helped them a lot. You all opened your home doors for them, organised langar. Polish government removed the visa restrictions for Indian students. Poland, with their whole heart, opened their doors for our students. Today also when I meet Indian students who have returned from Ukraine, they praise you all and the Polish government. Today I want to congratulate you all, the Polish government and the people, on behalf of 140 crore Indians. I salute you all,\u201d Modi said.<\/p>\n
