Poland has formalized new bilateral defense cooperation agreements with Slovakia and Canada. The agreement with Slovakia, signed in Nowa Dęba, establishes closer defense ties and includes the SAFE tool for future industry direction. The pact with Canada, signed in Kielce, enables joint technological projects, Arctic training for Polish soldiers, and opens arms export opportunities.
