On September 15, 2025 local time, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi held talks with Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski in Warsaw, and held the fourth meeting of the China-Poland Intergovernmental Committee.

Wang Yi said that both China and Poland are nations of self-reliance and resilience, committed to independence and having forged development paths suited to their own national conditions through hardships. Poland was among the first countries to establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China and among the first to sign cooperation documents on the Belt and Road Initiative with China. China attaches great importance to Poland's significant position in Europe and consistently regards China-Poland relations as an important part of China-Europe relations. Over the past half century since establishing diplomatic relations, China and Poland have cultivated a friendship built on mutual respect, equality, win-win cooperation and mutual learning, a bond that is especially valuable amid today's turbulent international situation and deserves to be cherished. Next year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the China-Poland comprehensive strategic partnership. The two sides should take stock of past experience, carry forward the tradition of friendship, uphold mutual respect, accommodate each other's core interests, and work together to ensure the undisturbed growth of bilateral relations.

Wang Yi said that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The Chinese and Polish peoples alike shed blood and made great sacrifices in resisting aggression. China was the first to resist Japanese militarist aggression, fought the longest, and made the greatest national sacrifices, making a tremendous contribution to the victory on the main battlefield of World War II in Asia and to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. The two countries should draw lessons from history, look to the future, make new contributions to world peace and development, and promote the building of a more just and equitable global governance system.

Wang Yi said that Poland is the final stop of his current trip to Europe. Over the past few days, he has engaged in extensive exchanges with European friends and gained a deep sense of the challenges facing Europe. Noting that arbitrary tariffs violate international trade rules and harm the legitimate interests of all countries, Wang Yi said that China and Europe should stand together to oppose such measures. In the face of unilateralism and bullying, compromise offers no way out, and acting as an accomplice will eventually harm one's own interests. The more complex and turbulent the international situation becomes, the more China, Poland and Europe should uphold the original aspiration of establishing diplomatic relations, stick to their partnership positioning, strengthen solidarity and coordination, safeguard their legitimate rights and interests as well as international fairness and justice.

Radosław Sikorski said that Poland attaches great importance to its relations with China, admires China's achievements in development, and welcomes China's continued development and growth. Poland firmly adheres to the one-China policy and is willing to give full play to the role of the mechanism of Poland-China Intergovernmental Committee, enhance exchanges at all levels, and expand communication and cooperation in various fields such as economy, trade and people-to-people and cultural exchanges, especially cooperation on major projects such as new energy vehicles, so as to bring more benefits to the people of both countries. A tariff war ignores World Trade Organization rules, undermines the stability of industrial and supply chains, and serves no one's interests. Noting that the current international governance system can no longer fit changes in the international balance of power, he said that Poland values the Global Governance Initiative proposed by China, and is willing to strengthen communication and coordination with China to advance reform and improvement of the global governance system.

The two sides exchanged views on the Ukraine crisis. Radosław Sikorski briefed Wang Yi on Poland's views on the current situation. Wang Yi expounded on China's principled position of promoting peace talks and supporting all efforts conducive to peace. Wang Yi said that China is ready to maintain close communication with Poland and all relevant parties to promote the conclusion of a comprehensive, lasting and binding peace agreement, build a balanced, effective and sustainable European security architecture, and achieve lasting peace and stability in Europe. Wang Yi expressed the hope that Poland, as an important country in Europe, will proceed from the fundamental and long-term interests of itself and of Europe, and play a constructive role in promoting a political settlement of the crisis.

After the talks, the two sides issued the Joint Conclusions of the Fourth Meeting of Poland-China Intergovernmental Committee.
