During his stay in Poland, PM Modi received a warm and culturally significant welcome. Polish and Indian artists performed a traditional Garba dance routine at the Warsaw hotel where the Prime Minister is staying. This unique cultural exchange highlighted the growing bond between the two nations and offered a vibrant start to the visit.
