PUTRAJAYA, Sept 3 – Malaysia and Poland have agreed to forge stronger economic linkages and promote a resilient supply chain amid both nations acknowledging the challenging geostrategic environment.
The matter was discussed in a bilateral meeting between Malaysia’s Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan and Poland’s Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, who was on a one-day visit to Malaysia on Tuesday, Sept 3.
“Both sides also discussed increasing trade and investment cooperation, as well as strengthening existing partnership in defence, higher education, agriculture, and tourism,” Malaysia’s Foreign Ministry, Wisma Putra, said in a statement Tuesday.
This was Sikorski’s first visit to Malaysia since his appointment in December 2023. He was accompanied by Deputy Minister of Defence Paweł Ksawery Zalewski and Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Michał Kołodziejczak.
Wisma Putra said that both sides underscored their shared commitment to advancing the mutually beneficial relations following the momentum set by the 2nd Bilateral Consultation between the foreign ministries in Warsaw in June this year.
The ministry said both ministers also exchanged views on regional and international issues, including the situation in the Middle East and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
“Malaysia expressed support to Poland’s application to become a High Contracting Party to the ASEAN Treaty of Amity and Cooperation (TAC),” it said.
