SINGAPORE – Polish President Andrzej Duda is on a three-day state visit to Singapore from June 11 to June 13.
It is his first visit to the Republic since taking office in 2015. Mr Duda’s second five-year term as president concludes later in 2025 in August.
The visit reaffirms the warm and growing relations between Singapore and Poland, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement on June 11.
Mr Duda, 53, will receive a ceremonial welcome at Parliament House on June 12. He will make a courtesy call on President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, who will also host a state banquet in his honour in the evening, said the ministry.
The Polish President, who is accompanied by Poland’s First Lady Agata Kornhauser-Duda and senior government officials, will meet Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on June 13.
He will also on June 13 attend the Singapore-Poland Business Forum, jointly organised by the Embassy of the Republic of Poland, the Polish Investment and Trade Agency, and the Singapore Business Federation.
His visit is the latest in a series of high-level visits between both countries. In 2017, then President Tony Tan Keng Yam made the first state visit from Singapore to Poland, where he met Mr Duda.
Poland is Singapore’s 13th largest trading partner in the European Union. In 2024, total bilateral goods trade stood at $1.7 billion.
There are also approximately 160 Polish companies in Singapore.
