President Yoon Suk Yeol of the Republic of Korea began a two-day visit to Poland for talks and meetings on global security, the war in neighbouring Ukraine, and developing bilateral business and defense ties.

President Yoon Suk Yeol and President Andrzej Duda of the Republic of Poland conducted talks.

President Yoon also had meeting with Poland’s right-wing Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and speakers of both chambers of parliament.

President Duda has described it as a “very important visit” by a “very prominent guest.”

President Yoon came to Warsaw after attending a NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, where he sought to deepen ties with the military alliance amid global security threats including Russia’s war on Ukraine and North Korea’s illicit nuclear program, the Associated Press (AP) news reported.

Poland is in the process of buying some $17 billion worth of advanced military equipment from South Korea. The purchase is meant to upgrade Poland’s defense potential and fill in for the older equipment that Poland has offered to Ukraine.
