WARSAW, April 30 (CNA) – The Taiwanese Representative Office in Poland held a spring reception for the "Poland-Taiwan Parliamentary Group" on April 29. Polish Deputy Minister of Economy Michal Jaros, Deputy Minister of Regional Development Jacek Karnowski, and Chairman of the Taiwan-friendly group Krzysztof Truskolaski, along with over 40 cross-party senators and representatives, attended, demonstrating strong Polish political support for Taiwan.
According to information provided by the Taiwanese Representative Office in Poland, Representative Liu Yong-jian stated in his speech at the reception that Taiwan and Poland are like-minded partners. He sincerely thanked the "Poland-Taiwan Parliamentary Group" for issuing joint statements for three consecutive years, publicly supporting Taiwan's substantive international participation and safeguarding peace in the Taiwan Strait.
Liu Yong-jian specifically mentioned that this year, the group for the first time emphasized the importance of submarine cable security for the global economy and energy transmission, and encouraged both sides to strengthen collaboration on this issue. In addition, Taiwan and Poland show great potential for cooperation in forward-looking fields such as semiconductors, green energy, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and defense industries.
With the evolution of geopolitics, Poland is increasingly focusing on developments in the Indo-Pacific region. Liu Yong-jian analyzed that Taiwan-Poland bilateral relations have significantly improved recently. For example, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi jointly issued a statement in early April, emphasizing the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski first mentioned Taiwan in his foreign policy report to parliament in February, expressing interest in technological cooperation with Taiwanese partners. These are all positive signals for the development of Taiwan-Poland relations.
Liu Yong-jian also appealed to Poland to support Taiwan's participation in the World Health Assembly (WHA) to be held in Geneva from May 18 to 23.
Regarding economic and trade achievements, Liu Yong-jian emphasized that the Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (TEEMA) has officially announced plans to establish an overseas science park in Poland, attracting Taiwanese high-tech industries to settle there. This will not only help Poland build relevant industrial supply chains but also create tens of thousands of job opportunities.
Furthermore, the Taiwan Expo will be held for the first time in Warsaw in June this year, with nearly a hundred Taiwanese companies participating, demonstrating Taiwan's emphasis on the Polish and Central and Eastern European markets.
Krzysztof Truskolaski stated in his speech at the reception that the "Poland-Taiwan Parliamentary Group," as the largest bilateral group in the Polish Parliament, will continue to support Taiwan's international participation and be concerned about peace in the Taiwan Strait. In the future, it will also demonstrate firm support for Taiwan through concrete actions and fully assist in promoting and strengthening in-depth cooperation in various fields.
Michal Jaros and Jacek Karnowski also separately expressed their pleasure at the vigorous development of Taiwan-Poland bilateral economic and trade interactions and their satisfaction with Taiwanese investment entering Poland. They also affirmed Taiwan's globally leading high-tech industry and pledged strong support for Taiwan and Poland to work together to deepen bilateral relations. (Edited by Hsieh Yi-hsuan) 1150430
