On September 15, 2025 local time, Polish President Karol Nawrocki met with Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Warsaw.
Karol Nawrocki asked Wang Yi to convey his sincere greetings to President Xi Jinping and commended China on its remarkable achievements in development. Karol Nawrocki said that Poland was among the first countries to establish diplomatic relations with China, and the two countries have maintained a good friendship. Karol Nawrocki said that as a historian, he is particularly aware of China's tremendous sacrifices and contributions to secure victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Poland values its traditional friendship with China and is willing to enhance exchanges and deepen cooperation with China, draw lessons from history, promote the sustained development of bilateral relations, and jointly safeguard world peace and security.
Wang Yi conveyed President Xi Jinping's cordial greetings, saying that under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, the China-Poland comprehensive strategic partnership has maintained steady development. Poland was among the first countries to establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China. For more than half a century, friendship has always been the main theme and cooperation the dominant trend in China-Poland relations, despite changes in the international landscape. China values Poland's position and influence in Europe and the world, and is ready to continue to deepen strategic mutual trust, enhance strategic cooperation, and jointly advance the sustained development of the China-Poland comprehensive strategic partnership. Wang Yi expressed the hope that Poland will play an active role in encouraging the European Union to develop an objective and rational understanding of China.
Wang Yi said that as the main battlefield in Asia during World War II, China was the first to resist Japanese militarism, fought the longest, and made the greatest national sacrifices, making a tremendous historic contribution to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. Not long ago, China held a commemoration, aiming to remember history, honor fallen heroes, cherish peace, and create a better future. Both China and Poland are independent countries that firmly safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The separatist activities of "Taiwan independence" forces, which attempt to split the country and challenge the outcomes of the victory of World War II, run counter to the tide of history and are doomed to fail. Wang Yi expressed his confidence that Poland will continue to uphold the one-China policy and support China's great cause of national reunification. Karol Nawrocki said that since 1949, the Polish government has recognized the Government of the People's Republic of China as the sole legal government representing the whole of China, and will continue to firmly abide by the one-China principle.
The two sides also exchanged views on the Ukraine crisis and other issues of common interest and concern.
During his visit, Wang Yi held talks with Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, and held the fourth meeting of the China-Poland Intergovernmental Committee.
