Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced the talks in an interview with Polish state broadcaster TVP Info.
Shmyhal said: “We work actively with the Polish government, with Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.”
He added: “We’ll hold intergovernmental talks, the first ever in such a wide-ranging format, where two governments will sit and discuss many issues and sign documents.”
First such talks since Russia invaded Ukraine: Polish gov't spokesman
Piotr Müller, the spokesman for the Polish government, confirmed in a tweet that Polish-Ukrainian talks would take place in Kyiv on Wednesday.
“Poland is the first country since Russia invaded Ukraine in February to meet with the Ukrainian government in this format,” Müller said.
Initiative by Poland
Shmyhal told TVP Info that the talks would take place as an initiative by Poland’s government and President Andrzej Duda.
“We were happy to agree to hold such a meeting,” he added.
Shmyhal told TVP Info that during the meeting Poland and Ukraine would sign an "agreement on good neighbourly relations" mentioning Poland's support for Ukraine's bid to join the European Union.
He also said that "the intergovernmental format enables a European Union member state to work with a country that's a candidate to join the bloc.”
Wednesday is day 98 of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
