The catalog, which features a selection of defense products manufactured in Poland, aims to promote the country's defense industry on the international stage.
The 200-page document, presented during the International Defense Industry Exhibition (MSPO) in the Polish city of Kielce—the largest annual arms fair in Central and Eastern Europe—will be distributed to Polish embassies and diplomatic missions worldwide.
"Our goal is to showcase the Polish defense industry as broadly as possible," Kosiniak-Kamysz said, addressing Polish manufacturers. "The government of the Republic of Poland fully supports your efforts, and this catalog is a tangible proof of that commitment."
He announced that every delegation from the Ministry of National Defense, along with military attachés and embassies, would be tasked with presenting the catalog to foreign partners. "We will ensure that this catalog reaches every diplomatic mission," Kosiniak-Kamysz added.
He also emphasized the necessity of developing Poland's defense industry, particularly as the country prepares to allocate up to 5% of its GDP to defense. Citing the examples of South Korea, Israel, and Turkey, he noted that rapidly building a robust defense industry within a decade is not only feasible but essential.
Nearly 800 exhibitors from 35 countries are expected to show their wares at a major defense fair that opened on Tuesday in Kielce.
