Kielce: Senior officials from South Korea's state arms procurement agency engaged in discussions with Polish government representatives earlier this week, focusing on strengthening bilateral cooperation in the defense sector, as confirmed by officials on Thursday.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the meeting involved Poland's vice defense minister and vice minister of state assets. It occurred on the sidelines of an international defense industry exhibition in Kielce, Poland. The discussions centered on enhancing defense cooperation, including maintenance support for weapons exported to Poland and identifying potential areas for future partnerships.

Poland has become a significant market for South Korea's defense exports in recent years. The European nation has secured a series of agreements to acquire K2 tanks, K9 self-propelled howitzers, and FA-50 light attack aircraft from South Korea. This year, Poland signed a deal valued at approximately US$6.5 billion for the purchase of a second batch of K2 tanks from Hyundai Rotem Co., marking the country's largest-ever arms export contract.
