Poland and Vietnam aim to deepen trade ties and develop mutual investment and industrial partnerships, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at a Polish-Vietnamese business roundtable.
Tusk and Vietnamese Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng took part in the meeting, along with officials and business representatives from both countries. They discussed ways to expand economic relations and make better use of the potential of both markets.
Vietnam is Poland’s largest trading partner in Southeast Asia. Bilateral trade exceeded $8 billion in 2025. Vietnam could give Polish businesses access to the ASEAN market, while Poland remains an attractive investment location within the European Union.
The two countries want to develop cooperation in pharmaceuticals and healthcare, defence, dual-use technologies and the space sector. Poland and Vietnam have had diplomatic relations for more than 75 years.
Tusk said the partnership could create jobs, strengthen local industry and increase access to modern technologies. He said neither country sought to dominate the other, describing Poland and Vietnam as equal economic partners.
Defence cooperation could include not only supplies of modern solutions but also long-term joint production, training and technology projects. In the space sector, the countries could work on Earth observation, satellite-data analysis and applications in agriculture, water management, environmental protection and infrastructure management.
Tusk said Poland could serve as Vietnam’s gateway to the European Union market. Large-scale projects require predictable regulations, transparent procedures, efficient certification and access to financing, he said. Polish companies receive support from organizations within Team Poland, including the Polish Investment and Trade Agency, Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego and KUKE.
