a Polish prime minister to the country in 27 years. <\/p>\n<p>The two leaders discussed a range of issues, with the main focus on expanding defence industry cooperation under a $44.2 billion (\u20ac39.6 billion) framework agreement signed in July 2022. <\/p>\n<p>Lee said the partnership extended beyond arms sales to include joint production, technology transfers and training.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;K2 tanks, K9 self\u2011propelled howitzers, FA\u201150 light-attack aircraft, and Chunmoo multiple rocket launchers \u2014 bearing South Korea\u2019s technology and pride \u2014 are now safeguarding Poland\u2019s territory and its people across its vast lands,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Tusk described South Korea as Poland\u2019s &#8220;most important ally after the United States, especially in the defence industry.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The two leaders also agreed to expand their cooperation across a wide range of areas, including energy supply chains, infrastructure, science and technology, high-tech industries and space.<\/p>\n<p>Warsaw has emerged as a key buyer of South Korean arms as it modernises its military following Russia&#8217;s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Tusk&#8217;s two-day visit, which began on Sunday, is his first to a non-European country since taking office as Polish prime minister in 2023. He is scheduled to travel to Tokyo after wrapping up his visit to Seoul on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Poland and South Korea established diplomatic relations in 1989.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>

bilateral relationship to a comprehensive strategic partnership, with defence cooperation at the centre of the upgraded ties.Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk held a summit with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung in Seoul, marking the first visit by a Polish prime minister to the country in 27 years.\u00a0The two leaders discussed a range of issues, with the main focus on expanding defence industry cooperation under a $44.2 billion (\u20ac39.6 billion) framework agreement signed in July 2022.\u00a0Lee said the partnership extended beyond arms sales to include joint production, technology transfers and training.&#8221;K2 tanks, K9 self\u2011propelled howitzers, FA\u201150 light-attack aircraft, and Chunmoo multiple rocket launchers \u2014 bearing South Korea\u2019s technology and pride \u2014 are now safeguarding Poland\u2019s territory and its people across its vast lands,&#8221; he said.Tusk described South Korea as Poland\u2019s &#8220;most important ally after the United States, especially in the defence industry.&#8221;The two leaders also agreed to expand their cooperation across a wide range of areas, including energy supply chains, infrastructure, science and technology, high-tech industries and space.Warsaw has emerged as a key buyer of South Korean arms as it modernises its military following Russia&#8217;s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.Tusk&#8217;s two-day visit, which began on Sunday, is his first to a non-European country since taking office as Polish prime minister in 2023.
