Minister Lamola hosts his Polish Counterpart in Pretoria

The Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Mr Ronald Lamola, is hosting the Deputy Prime Minister of Poland, who also serves as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Radoslaw Sikorski, in Pretoria. The meeting represents the first ministerial-level engagement between South Africa and Poland in several years and follows a bilateral meeting between Minister Lamola and Minister Sikorski on the margins of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, in 2026. This meeting provides an important opportunity to consolidate the bilateral relationship between South Africa and Poland, reactivate outstanding instruments, most notably the long-overdue inaugural session of the Joint Commission on Economic Cooperation (JCEC), and exchange views on regional and global matters of mutual concern.
