South Korea-Poland Defense Ties

The agreement was finalized during Tusk's visit to Seoul, where he identified South Korea as a key security ally alongside the United States.

Poland has already placed multi-billion dollar orders for South Korean tanks, howitzers, and fighter jets.

The two leaders also discussed expanding cooperation in nuclear energy and advanced technology.

This deepening alliance comes as the US shifts its strategic focus toward the Middle East conflict, prompting European nations to seek new security partners in Asia.
