Discussions focused in particular on economic relations between Bern and Warsaw. Poland is Switzerland’s main trading partner in Central Europe. In 2025, trade volume reached nearly CHF6.5 billion ($8.25 billion).
Warsaw receives the largest share of Switzerland’s contribution to the European Union’s cohesion fund, amounting to some CHF320 million. This supports medium-sized Polish cities as well as projects in the research and innovation sectors.

“Both sides benefit. Indeed, when a Polish city improves its infrastructure, the entire regional economy benefits, and therefore the many Swiss companies,” Parmelin emphasised.
“I was very impressed to see the Swiss president list the Polish cities that benefit from this aid,” Nawrocki noted.
