Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told reporters after the meeting that trade between the two neighbouring countries had grown by more than a third in recent years.

“This phenomenal growth has been somewhat halted by the epidemic, but we have plans on how to make our business expand again,” he said.

Morawiecki encouraged Slovak companies to invest in Poland and tourists from that country to visit Poland.
