Islamabad (TDI): After landing in Islamabad on Thursday, the Deputy Prime Minister of Poland, Radosław Sikorski, arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) to meet his Pakistani counterpart, Ishaq Dar.
According to a statement by Pakistan MoFA, “the two leaders held a tête-à-tête meeting and exchanged views on matters of mutual interest.”
The Polish Deputy PM is in Pakistan on a two-day official visit at the invitation of DPM/FM Dar. This is Sikorski’s second visit to the country, which comes after a significant gap of 14 years; as he visited last time in 2011.

The one-on-one meeting between the two officials will be followed by a delegation-level talk, which will in turn be followed by a joint press stakeout.
The discussions will cover the full spectrum of Pakistan-Poland relations; focusing on trade, investment, energy, defense, agriculture, and people-to-people connections.
Both sides are keen to explore new avenues of cooperation that can enhance economic and strategic engagement between Islamabad and Warsaw.
The visit comes at an important time, following the ninth round of Bilateral Political Consultations held in Warsaw in July 2025, where both nations reaffirmed their commitment to expanding collaboration in defense, technology, education, and energy.
These consultations laid the groundwork for Sikorski’s trip, which aims to translate earlier discussions into tangible outcomes and agreements.

Economic relations between Pakistan and Poland have been growing steadily. In 2023, bilateral trade reached around US $922 million, with Pakistan exporting nearly $794 million worth of goods to Poland and importing $128 million in return.
Poland is regarded by Pakistani officials as a gateway to the broader European Union market, and Islamabad hopes to strengthen cooperation in fields such as agriculture, food security, and value-added exports.
For Poland, the visit signals its intent to diversify its international partnerships and enhance engagement beyond Europe. Polish companies have been involved in Pakistan’s energy sector since the 1990s, and Warsaw continues to show interest in exploring new energy and investment opportunities.
Strengthening these ties aligns with Poland’s broader strategy of building relationships with emerging economies in Asia.
The visit is expected to conclude with the signing of several memoranda of understanding, particularly in the sectors of energy, agriculture, and defense technology. The joint press event on Friday will likely highlight the outcomes of the talks.
Established in December 2008, The Diplomatic Insight is Pakistan’s premier diplomacy and foreign affairs magazine, available in both digital and print formats.
