Main Body
During the 8th India-Japan Defence Policy Dialogue, officials from both countries discussed how to expand their 'Special Strategic and Global Partnership.' They reviewed their progress in military exchanges and maritime cooperation, while also looking for new ways to work together in shipbuilding, cybersecurity, and aero-engines. Furthermore, India plans to take advantage of Japan's more flexible defense export rules. Both nations emphasized their commitment to a rules-based system in the Indo-Pacific region, and India has invited Minister Shinjiro Koizumi for a return visit.
在第 8 次印日國防政策對話期間，兩國官員討論了如何擴展其「特別戰略及全球夥伴關係」。他們審視了在軍事交流與海上合作方面的進展，同時尋找在造船、網路安全及航空引擎方面合作的新方式。此外，印度計劃利用日本更靈活的國防出口規則。兩國均強調致力於維持印太地區基於規則的體系，而印度已邀請小泉進次郎部長回訪。
At the same time, India and Poland have worked to resolve past disagreements through diplomacy. Deputy Foreign Minister Wladyslaw Teofil Bartoszewski stated that previous tensions over India's purchase of Russian oil have been reduced because both countries now understand each other's national priorities. Additionally, Poland has adopted a 'zero tolerance' policy toward terrorism, which aligns with India's own security concerns. Regarding stability in West Asia, Poland supported India's balanced diplomatic approach, emphasizing that navigation in the Strait of Hormuz must remain free and that nuclear proliferation in Iran must be stopped.
與此同時，印度與波蘭透過外交手段努力解決過去的分歧。波蘭外交部副部長 Wladyslaw Teofil Bartoszewski 表示，由於兩國現在都理解彼此的國家優先事項，先前因印度購買俄羅斯石油而引起的緊張局勢已有所緩解。此外，波蘭對恐怖主義採取「零容忍」政策，這與印度的安全關切一致。關於西亞的穩定，波蘭支持印度平衡的外交方針，強調霍爾木茲海峽的航行必須保持自由，且必須阻止伊朗的核擴散。
Conclusion
These diplomatic efforts show that India is strengthening its strategic relationships with Japan and Poland through better defense industry cooperation and shared security goals.
這些外交努力顯示，印度正透過加強國防工業合作與共享安全目標，鞏固其與日本、波蘭的戰略關係。
