ISLAMABAD: Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mr. Radoslaw Sikorski arrived in Islamabad on Thursday for a two-day official visit at the invitation of Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar.
This is Mr. Sikorski’s second official visit to Pakistan, following his previous trip in 2011.
During his stay, both leaders will hold a one-on-one meeting, followed by delegation-level talks aimed at reviewing the entire spectrum of bilateral relations. Discussions are expected to focus on political cooperation, trade, defense, education, and people-to-people exchanges.
A joint press stakeout by the two foreign ministers will be held later on Thursday.
Deputy Prime Minister Sikorski’s visit marks a significant milestone in Pakistan–Poland relations, reaffirming Islamabad’s commitment to deepening engagement with Warsaw across multiple sectors for mutual benefit and regional stability.
Diplomatic relations between Pakistan and Poland were established on 17th December 1962, and Pakistan opened its Embassy in Warsaw in 1969.
The mechanism of Bilateral Political Consultations (BPC) between the two foreign ministries plays an important role in reviewing progress on bilateral issues and exchanging views on regional and multilateral issues of mutual interest.
The bilateral relations have made strong progress, particularly in the last 20 years, and now cover multiple areas, including political, economic, defence, and education. After the introduction of the e-visa facility by Pakistan, the number of tourists from Poland to Pakistan has significantly increased.
