The big picture:
Representatives from key Iranian companies, including those in the food industry, knowledge-based businesses, agriculture, tourism, and transportation attend the meeting. The Polish Chamber of Commerce celebrated its 35th anniversary. As of 2025, Poland holds the rotating presidency of the European Union.
What he's saying:
Head of the International Department of Poland's Ministry of Economic Development and Technology, Juliusz Gojło emphasized that Iran-EU trade amounts to €5 billion annually, with Poland's share at just one percent, urging Polish traders to better utilize Iran's market potential.
Go deeper:
Iran and Poland share a 500-year history of trade and diplomacy. During World War II, Iran sheltered over 120,000 Polish refugees, leaving a lasting legacy. Today, both nations seek to deepen ties in renewable energy, tourism, and cultural heritage, building on their shared history and mutual interests.
