During his four-day trip starting on Tuesday, Andrzej Duda is scheduled to hold talks with South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol and other officials to discuss bilateral military cooperation and joint infrastructure projects, according to his aides.
Other topics include working together on aid programmes for Ukraine amid Russia's ongoing invasion, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.
Duda's itinerary includes a visit to South Korean arms maker Hyundai Rotem, which is supplying tanks to Poland under a deal signed in 2022.
In July last year, Duda praised "brilliant prospects" for bilateral economic cooperation during a meeting with his South Korean counterpart in Warsaw.
