After the welcoming ceremony, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk had a small meeting before leading the delegations of the two countries to hold talks.
This is the first official visit by a Vietnamese Prime Minister to Poland in 15 years. The visit takes place in the context of the traditional friendship and multifaceted cooperation between Vietnam and Poland developing well, towards the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Over the past 75 years, the Vietnam-Poland relationship has been built and developed in all fields of politics, economics, culture, science, education and training... Poland has given enthusiastic support and valuable assistance in the past struggle for national liberation as well as in the current national construction and development of Vietnam. Leaders of the two countries regularly exchange delegations at all levels to consolidate and tighten the friendship between the two countries. The two countries closely coordinate in multilateral forums.
Vietnam is currently Poland's largest trading partner in Southeast Asia and Poland is Vietnam's leading partner in Central and Eastern Europe. Two-way trade turnover has been increasing steadily, reaching 3.435 billion USD in 2024. Poland has ratified the Vietnam-European Union Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA). Regarding investment, as of November 2024, Poland has 33 investment projects in Vietnam with a total registered capital of 473.82 million USD.
Poland was one of the first countries in the European Union (EU) to support Vietnam during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cooperation in other areas such as defense, security, education, training, agriculture, culture, and labor between the two countries has also developed positively. Poland has trained thousands of students, scientists, and skilled workers for Vietnam.
Currently, the Vietnamese community in Poland has about 25,000 people, has a tradition of solidarity, oriented towards the homeland, has many contributions to the locality and relations between the two countries, and is highly appreciated by the Polish government.
With a good foundation of relations, the official visit to the Republic of Poland by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, his wife and the high-ranking Vietnamese delegation this time is of great significance; creating a breakthrough, elevating the relationship between the two countries, thereby promoting and deepening the relationship between Vietnam and the Central Eastern European region.
