On the afternoon of October 26, 2026, in Ha Noi, during the official visit to Viet Nam by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT), in coordination with Poland's Ministry of Economic Development and Technology, organized the Viet Nam-Poland Business Roundtable, attended by Vietnamese Prime Minister Le Minh Hung and his Polish counterpart Donald Tusk.

The roundtable took place shortly after the two countries announced the establishment of a strategic partnership, marking the beginning of a new phase of cooperation in economics, trade and investment.

Opening the roundtable, Minister of Industry and Trade Le Manh Hung noted that Viet Nam and Poland possess considerable potential and complementary economic strengths. Against this backdrop, the Minister proposed that the two sides work together to create a favorable business environment and address difficulties relating to administrative procedures, technical standards and logistics. He also called for stronger cooperation in trade, investment, manufacturing, technology transfer and supply chain development, alongside more effective use of bilateral cooperation mechanisms, trade promotion organizations and business associations to connect partners and facilitate the implementation of specific projects.

Addressing the roundtable, Prime Minister Le Minh Hung expressed his pleasure at joining Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the event shortly after the two countries elevated their bilateral relationship. He emphasized that the establishment of the strategic partnership reflected profound political trust, a shared vision and a strong determination to elevate the traditional friendship between Viet Nam and Poland to a new level. The PM expressed his hope that the roundtable would help translate the new cooperation framework into concrete outcomes through business connections and practical, feasible programs and projects in economic, trade and investment cooperation.

The PM outlined four major priorities for taking bilateral economic, trade and investment cooperation to a new level: improving the quality of cooperation; jointly reviewing and promptly removing institutional barriers; strengthening transportation connectivity to link markets; and enhancing business linkages while promoting sustainable business practices.

Echoing the priorities outlined by Prime Minister Le Minh Hung, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that Poland and Viet Nam shared a common vision of advancing their relationship beyond traditional trade toward more comprehensive cooperation in investment and industry. Polish companies could contribute technology, expertise and capital, while Vietnamese partners could offer well-developed manufacturing infrastructure, knowledge of local markets and opportunities for expansion into regional markets.

The participation and remarks of the two Prime Ministers underscored the importance that both countries' leaders attach to strengthening cooperation and fostering closer ties between their business communities in this new phase of bilateral relations.

During the roundtable, representatives of government agencies, organizations and businesses from both countries exchanged views on cooperation opportunities in trade, investment, aviation, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, the defense industry and space technology. Polish participants included companies and organizations such as PGZ, Rosomak, Cenzin, WB Group, Adamed Pharma/Davipharm, TZF Polfa and representatives of the Polish Space Agency.

In her closing remarks, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Phan Thi Thang emphasized the importance of maintaining engagement among government agencies, organizations and business communities of the two countries, facilitating information exchange, identifying suitable partners and advancing feasible cooperation proposals.

The Viet Nam-Poland Business Roundtable contributed to strengthening mutual understanding, trust and connections between the two countries' business communities, while opening up new opportunities for cooperation in trade, investment, manufacturing and technology. The event also represented a practical step toward deepening the Viet Nam-Poland strategic partnership and enhancing its effectiveness, in line with the potential, strengths and expectations of both sides.
