Speaking after the meeting, Nawrocki described Turkey as one of Poland's most important partners, a trusted NATO ally and a key contributor to European security, particularly in the Black Sea region.
"We discussed the broad scope of our bilateral cooperation, which is important for our friendship, partnership and alliance, as well as geopolitical issues," Nawrocki said.
He said one of the main topics of discussion was the upcoming NATO summit in Ankara.
"It is impossible to build responsibility for NATO's eastern flank without recognising Poland's role in the north and responsibility for the Baltic Sea, as well as Turkey's role as home to NATO's largest land army in Europe and its responsibility for the Black Sea," Nawrocki said.
The Polish president also praised Turkey's participation in the Three Seas Initiative, a regional cooperation platform linking countries between the Baltic, Black and Adriatic Seas.
Nawrocki said his visit demonstrated "the strong state of Polish-Turkish relations" and "the significant potential for further cooperation." He added that he had invited Erdogan to visit Poland.
Erdogan said the two leaders discussed trade, investment, defence cooperation and energy. He noted that annual trade between Turkey and Poland had exceeded USD 10 billion, reaching a target previously set by the two countries.
"We will continue working to increase trade volumes between our countries," Erdogan said.
He highlighted the role of Turkish construction companies in Poland and said transport infrastructure represented another promising area for cooperation, pointing to Turkey's status as a strategic partner of the Three Seas Initiative.
Erdogan also thanked Poland for supporting Turkey's long-standing bid to join the European Union and expressed hope that the support would continue.
Defence cooperation was among the key issues discussed, Erdogan said, citing joint projects involving unmanned systems and other military technologies.
"We are NATO allies, and our countries play an indispensable role in Europe's security architecture," he said. "We are continuously working to strengthen this cooperation."
The Turkish president said the talks also covered education, culture, science and tourism, as well as broader geopolitical issues, including NATO, strengthening the alliance's European pillar and deterrence capabilities, and preparations for the upcoming summit.
"We consider it important to strengthen the transatlantic bond, including by having our European allies assume greater responsibility," Erdogan said, as cited by Polish state news agency PAP.
