Deputy Minister of DAPA on Polish-Korean cooperation Jakub Palowski 10.09.2025 08:30 DrukujPDFViceminister DAPAPhoto. Bang Guck-cheol, Vice Minister, Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA): Current defense cooperation between Korea and Poland goes beyond simple trade relations. The export of Korean weapon systems also includes after-sales support, technology transfer, and localization. The widespread use of autonomous systems on modern battlefields is changing the rules of warfare and also poses challenges to conventional weapon systems. As Poland considers selling its locally produced weapon systems to third countries in cooperation with Korea in the future, Korea is positively considering joining the SAFE initiative.
