Poland in Malaysia

Due to the significant distance between Poland and Brunei Darussalam, the relations so far have not been very intensive. In 2004, the arrangements regarding mutual partial lifting of the visa requirement for passenger travelling between Poland and Brunei Darussalam took place. In 2013, the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Poland was opened in the capital Bandar Seri Begawan. There is some potential for the development of cooperation in the defence industry. There were several visits on the government level by representatives of the Ministry of Defence and the army of both countries. In 2013, Sikorsky-PZL Mielec completed a contract to supply of 12 Black Hawk helicopters. In December 2013, a MoU was signed on the development of defence cooperation.

According to the data of the Central Statistical Office, in terms of the value of Poland's exports to Brunei in 2018, it reached the value of PLN 7.9 million. Machine parts and poultry meat were mainly exported to Brunei. In the same year, Polish imports from Brunei Darussalam reached the value of only PLN424, 4 thousand. It is worth mentioning that some Polish products (e.g. machinery used in the food industry) do reach Brunei via Malaysian contractors.
