Duda is scheduled to meet with the country’s President Zuzana Čaputová and Prime Minister Eduard Heger on Tuesday.
The talks are expected to focus on Polish-Slovak cooperation and "hybrid threats from the East," Polish state news agency PAP reported, citing officials.
“Poland and Slovakia are very close partners in the EU, NATO, and as part of the Visegrad Group, and they also carry out projects jointly under the Three Seas Initiative,” the Polish president's foreign policy adviser Jakub Kumoch told PAP.
"Discussing cooperation is a key part of this visit," he added.
Kumoch told reporters that the talks would discuss topics including Poland’s “border with Belarus, because this issue does not only concern Poland, but all countries in the region."
"We expect that the Lukashenko regime may use various other routes,” he said, referring to an escalating migrant crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border.
Duda's Bratislava visit will begin on Monday evening with a stop at the city's Radisson Blu Cartlon hotel, where he will meet with Polish entrepreneurs operating their businesses in Slovakia, PAP reported.
On Tuesday morning, Duda will be officially welcomed by Slovakia's Čaputová at the presidential palace in Bratislava.
