Key Details and Significance of the Summit
Overview of the Upcoming Summit
SEOUL, April 10 (Reuters) – South Korean President Lee Jae Myung will hold a summit meeting with Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk on April 13, with defence industry cooperation and global security expected to top the agenda, media reports said on Friday.
Historic Visit
Tusk is due to arrive on Sunday for the first bilateral visit by a Polish prime minister to South Korea in 27 years, the reports said, citing the presidential Blue House.
Strengthening Defence Ties
The visit comes amid deepening defence ties between the countries.
Major Defence Agreements
In 2022, South Korea and Poland signed a $44.2 billion defence framework agreement for South Korean companies to supply Poland with arms as well as jointly produce military equipment on Polish soil.
Since then, defence companies including Hanwha Aerospace and Hyundai Rotem have signed follow-up, multi-billion-dollar contracts to supply equipment such as tanks and missile launchers.
Strategic Partnership and Geopolitical Discussions
The two leaders plan to hold discussions on ways to strengthen a strategic partnership across various fields, the media reports said.
Broader Geopolitical Issues
As a key member of both the European Union and NATO, Poland was also expected to discuss broader geopolitical issues with Seoul including the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the reports said.
