MANILA, Philippines – Poland is seeking new defense partnerships with the Philippines, a senior foreign ministry official said on Tuesday, September 15, after completing the delivery of Black Hawk helicopters to Manila last month.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Wladyslaw Bartoszewski, who was in Manila for annual political consultations with the Philippines, said Poland is investing nearly $50 billion for its defense industry and could sell military hardware abroad, including to the Philippines.
