President Lee Jae-myung and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk are set to hold summit talks on Monday. The leaders will discuss expanding bilateral cooperation, focusing on the defense industry. Tusk's visit marks the first by a Polish prime minister in 27 years.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk arrived in South Korea on Sunday for a two-day visit. Cheong Wa Dae said President Lee Jae-myung and Tusk are scheduled to hold talks on Monday, followed by joint press statements and an official luncheon.
The summit will explore ways to broaden strategic cooperation across sectors, with a particular focus on the defense industry. In December, Poland signed a 5.6 trillion-won ($4 billion) contract with Hanwha Aerospace Co. to import Chunmoo multiple launch rocket systems.
The leaders will also discuss the Middle East crisis and other major geopolitical developments. Presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung noted Poland's role as a key member of the European Union and North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
