In early July, the Netherlands and Poland are set to sign a new defense cooperation agreement in Warsaw. This was announced by the prime ministers of both countries, Dick Schoof and Donald Tusk, as reported by de Gelderlander.
While the details of the agreement are not yet disclosed, both parties confirm that the defense ministries are still working on the specifics. According to Schoof, the cooperation will include joint training as well as the development of the defense industry in Europe.
Poland is actively expanding its military cooperation with European partners. Additionally, later this week, Tusk is expected to sign another defense and economic agreement with France.
Schoof emphasized Poland’s crucial role in strengthening European security, especially since it took over the presidency of the European Union at the beginning of the year. Poland is also significantly increasing defense spending: in 2025, the country plans to allocate 4.7% of its GDP to defense, the highest among NATO members.
