Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh meets President of Poland Andrzej Duda on the sidelines of the 15th World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting of the New Champions in Dalian city, China’s Liaoning province, June 25, 2024.

PM Chinh proposed that the two countries continue beefing up their partnership through strengthening the exchange of delegations at all levels, increasing visits of officials via the Party channel, and promoting economic, trade, investment, cultural cooperation and people-to-people exchange.

He said that Vietnam will provide optimal conditions for the import of goods of Poland’s strengths such as machineries and ships.

The two sides should speed up the signing of a loan agreement for the project of building six new offshore search and rescue ships for which the Polish Government has committed to granting preferential credit to Vietnam, Mr. Chinh said, adding that Vietnam hopes for Poland’s support in human resources training in the fields of basic training and shipbuilding.

President Duda expressed his impression at Vietnam's socio-economic achievements, underlining that Vietnam is Poland's current biggest partner in Southeast Asia. He hailed the contributions by the Vietnamese community in Poland.

The Polish leader said he hopes Vietnam will create favourable conditions for Polish firms to export goods to Vietnam and strengthen cooperation with their Vietnamese peers in new areas such as renewable energy and tourism.
