Significant milestone
The Foreign Office had said that the visit marks a significant milestone in Pakistan-Poland relations as the country “remains committed to enhancing cooperation with Poland for the mutual benefit of both countries.”

According to the foreign office, Pakistan and Poland established diplomatic relations on December 17, 1962, and Pakistan opened its embassy in Warsaw in 1969. The two sides have maintained Bilateral Political Consultations, the 9th round of which was held in Warsaw on July 4, 2025.
In April 2018, the then-federal minister for defense, Khurram Dastgir Khan, visited Warsaw at the invitation of the Polish government, where the two sides signed a Bilateral Defense Cooperation Agreement.
