The two leaders expressed their joy about the positive development in Vietnam-Poland relations in many fields so that the relationship between the two countries is more intensive, extensive, comprehensive, and inclusive. The two countries have maintained delegation exchanges at all levels across all Party, State, Government, and Parliament channels and people-to-people diplomacy. Economy and trade have become an important highlight in bilateral cooperation. Two-way trade turnover reached over 2.5 billion USD annually since 2020, and hit over 3 billion USD in 2024, making Poland the largest trading partner of Vietnam in Central and Eastern Europe. Cooperation in education-training, culture-tourism, and agriculture has continued to make important progress.
PM Chinh affirmed that in implementing the foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, diversification and multilateralisation of international relations, Vietnam always treasures and wants to strengthen relations with traditional friends in the Central and Eastern European region, of which Poland is one of the top priority partners.
President Duda spoke highly of the official visit of PM Chinh and the high-ranking delegation of the Vietnamese Government as the two countries are celebrating the 75th founding anniversary of diplomatic relations (1950-2025). He believed that the visit to Poland by a Vietnamese PM will create a turning point to further promote the Poland-Vietnam Comprehensive Partnership.
