PCCC representatives actively participated in Defence24 Days_May 6–7

Representatives of the Polish Canadian Chamber of Commerce had the pleasure of participating in Defence24 Days, held on May 6–7. 

The event was an excellent opportunity to highlight the importance of transatlantic cooperation and Canada’s role as a committed partner to Europe in the areas of defence, security, critical minerals, financing, and supply chain resilience.

Poland remains a key partner for Canada in Central and Eastern Europe — both as Canada’s largest trading partner in the region and as a growing hub for European supply chains and defence cooperation.

During the discussions, the Canadian Ambassador also emphasized concrete examples of Canada’s contribution to transatlantic security, including leadership of NATO’s Multinational Brigade in Latvia and continued support for Ukraine.

Thank you for the inspiring conversations and the opportunity to take part in one of the region’s leading events dedicated to security and defence.
