Vietnam, Poland hold deputy foreign ministerial-level political consultations

Deputy Minister Ngo Le Van warmly welcomed Bartoszewski, affirming that Vietnam-Poland relations have been cultivated by generations of leaders and people of both countries, yielding positive results over the past 75 years.

Vietnam always greatly values the invaluable support and solidarity of the Polish people in their past struggle for national liberation and reunification, as well as in the current renewal and socio-economic development process. The Deputy Minister emphasized that Vietnam attaches importance to and wishes to enhance comprehensive cooperation with Poland at both bilateral and multilateral levels, while remaining determined to coordinate the effective implementation of high-level commitments and agreements to bring bilateral ties to a substantive, effective level and a new height.

Both sides reviewed bilateral cooperation, particularly the implementation of high-level agreements, discussed orientations to boost traditional friendship and all-around cooperation between the two countries and their foreign ministries, and exchanged views on regional and international issues of mutual concern.

They agreed to coordinate closely and make thorough preparations for high-level visits, thereby consolidating the political, diplomatic, and legal foundations for long-term cooperation mechanisms. The two foreign ministries will regularly maintain political, policy, and consular consultation mechanisms; coordinate and urge the implementation of high-level agreements; and assist ministries, sectors, and relevant agencies in removing bottlenecks to beef up cooperation in specific fields.

Regarding economy, trade, and investment, the two sides positively assessed the growth of bilateral trade, with turnover in 2025 reaching US$3.94 billion, an increase of 14.8% over 2024. Both sides  consented to effectively realize the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), remove technical barriers, and open markets for each other's goods, especially agro-forestry-fishery products, garments and textiles, footwear, medical equipment, and pharmaceuticals, thereby raising export turnover and ensuring trade balance.

The two countries will also strive to fast-track the ratification and implementation of the EU-Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA), thereby creating favorable, safe, and effective conditions for businesses from both sides to invest in areas of strength and potential.

On national defense and security, the two sides supported agencies and enterprises of both countries in actively participating in specialized exhibitions and events in each country, and stepping up the exchange of experience, particularly in combating cybercrime, organized crime, terrorism, and drug trafficking. They concurred to speed up negotiations, finalization, and signing of relevant cooperation documents.

Appreciating the cultural and artistic activities organized in both countries recently, the two sides  reached consensus on bolstering continued cooperation in culture, education, and training, and supporting airlines in launching direct flights between capitals and major cities to promote tourism, people-to-people exchanges, trade, and investment.

Noting the effective coordination at international organizations and multilateral forums, especially the United Nations, both sides affirmed that they will continue to consult and support each other's candidates for seats in United Nations bodies and other international organizations. Vietnam supports Poland in enhancing relations with ASEAN, while Poland supports Vietnam in developing relations with the European Union (EU).

Discussing regional and international situations, they underscored the non-use or threat of use of force, and the settlement of disputes and conflicts by peaceful means in accordance with international law and the United Nations Charter. They laid stress on the importance of maintaining peace, stability, security, safety, and freedom of navigation and aviation, and complying with international law, particularly the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

On this occasion, Deputy Minister Ngo Le Van thanked and requested the Polish Government to continue offering favorable conditions for the Vietnamese community to live and work stably, integrate well, and contribute to the host country's development, while serving as a bridge for the friendly relations and multi-faceted cooperation between the two countries.
