The trip is significant primarily from an economic perspective, but it also reflects a broader shift in Poland's foreign policy. Traditionally, Poland has operated mainly within the European sphere, explains Sana Hashmi, Fellow at the Taiwan–Asia Exchange Foundation, in World Talks. According to her, Poland is now trying to redefine its place not only in Europe, but also in the wider world. One of the most important outcomes of the visit was the decision to upgrade Polish-Vietnamese relations to the level of a strategic partnership. What is driving these changes? And what can Poland and its Asian partners gain from one another? Join Benjamin Lee and his guest to learn more about Poland's growing engagement in Asia, its economic and diplomatic ambitions, and the opportunities emerging from deeper cooperation with India and Vietnam.
