Vietnamese Prime Minister Le Minh Hung and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk attended the Vietnam–Poland Business Roundtable in Hanoi on October 26.
The meeting followed the two countries’ announcement that they had upgraded bilateral relations to a Strategic Partnership, creating fresh opportunities to expand economic, trade and investment cooperation, particularly in high technology, industry and value-chain development.
Poland is Vietnam’s largest trading partner in Central and Eastern Europe. Bilateral trade reached nearly $4 billion in 2025, up 14.8% from 2024. In the first nine months of 2026, two-way trade totalled nearly $3.5 billion, an increase of 19% year on year.
As of September 2026, Poland had 35 active investment projects in Vietnam, with total registered capital of approximately $412 million.
At the event, Prime Minister Le Minh Hung proposed four priorities for advancing economic, trade and investment cooperation. These include improving the quality of collaboration by focusing on sectors with greater scientific and technological content and higher added value; removing institutional and policy barriers, particularly those involving investment procedures, immigration, customs and technical standards; and strengthening transport and logistics links by exploring more diverse air, maritime and potential rail connections.
The fourth priority is to deepen business partnerships and encourage long-term investment projects that use advanced, environmentally friendly technologies, while enabling Vietnamese companies to participate more extensively in production and supply chains.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk identified three priority areas for cooperation: pharmaceuticals and healthcare; defence and dual-use technologies; and the space industry and advanced technologies. These sectors are expected to support the development of a modern economic partnership and strengthen both countries’ technological capabilities.
