Poland’s Sejm unanimously approves the European Union-Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement.

Following the approval, the agreement is expected to clear the Senate by late October before being sent to President Karol Nawrocki for promulgation. Once promulgated, Poland will become the 19th out of the EU’s 27 member states to ratify the EVIPA.

The unanimous vote reflects broad support from all political parties and factions in Poland for reinforcing ties with Vietnam. The decision aligns with the commitments made during Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s official visit to Poland in January, when the European country pledged to finalise the ratification process within the year.

Poland and Vietnam mark 75 years of diplomatic ties in 2025.
