The official programme begins on June 23 with a visit to the Mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of the modern Turkish Republic, where Nawrocki and the Polish delegation will pay their respects.

Later, the Polish president is scheduled to tour the headquarters of Aselsan, one of Türkiye’s leading defence and technology companies specializing in advanced military systems.
