New Delhi, October 21 (Daily Kiran) : Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk arrived in New Delhi on the evening of October 21 for a three-day official visit. His trip aims to strengthen defense, trade, technology, and strategic cooperation between Poland and India.

Upon his arrival at the Delhi airport, Tusk was welcomed by Raj Bhushan Choudhary, the Minister of State for Food Processing Industries and Water Power.
