The economic delegation will attend events such as the Korea-Poland Business Forum and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing ceremony hosted by the Federation of Korean Industries and the Polish Investment and Trade Agency, as well as trade consultations hosted by the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), to discuss economic and industrial cooperation measures between the two countries. They will have opportunities to build networks and expand business with Polish government officials and businesspeople.

The scale of trade between the two countries has reached an all-time high, and Poland is gaining attention as a production base for Korean companies in Europe, heightening the atmosphere of economic cooperation. In particular, this visit is significant as it is the first visit by a Korean president to Poland in 14 years.
