Chairman Receives The Chargée d’Affaires of the Republic of Poland

The Chargée d’Affaires of the Republic of Poland to the Republic of Djibouti, Mrs. Ilona Korchut, was received at Djibouti International Exhibition Center, Red Sea World. The meeting provided an opportunity to discuss prospects for strengthening economic cooperation between Djibouti and Poland with a particular focus on maritime and trade collaboration.

Djibouti currently operates seven ports, including the Port of Djibouti (Old Port), Doraleh Container Terminal, Djibouti Multipurpose Port, Damerjog Liquid Bulk Port, the Port of Tadjourah, Doraleh Oil Terminal and the Port of Ghoubet. On the Polish side, Poland has four major seaports along the Baltic Sea Gdańsk, Gdynia, Szczecin, and Świnoujście Ports. In this context, discussions focused on the potential for enhanced cooperation in maritime trade.

Additional avenues for collaboration were discussed through the Djibouti International Free Trade Zone (DIFTZ), which hosts more than 1,000 international companies and offers a range of investment incentives, including the stability of Djibouti’s national currency maintained since 1949.

Discussions also addressed the upcoming Poland–Djibouti business mission scheduled to take place in Djibouti in July aimed at encouraging Polish investors to explore business and investment opportunities in the country.

Mrs. Ilona Korchut extended an invitation to Chairman to visit Poland with particular interest in visiting Poland’s major port facilities.
