Polish officials also highlighted shared values on sovereignty, peacekeeping, and international law during the 235th anniversary celebration of Poland’s historic Constitution of May 3 in Jakarta.
RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - Poland is optimistic about expanding economic and diplomatic relations with Indonesia, as both countries seeing rising interest in each other’s products and stronger cooperation across trade, security, and international affairs.
Speaking at the celebration of the 235th anniversary of Poland’s Constitution of 3 May 1791 in Jakarta on Tuesday evening, May 12, 2026, Polish Ambassador to Indonesia Barbara Szymanowska said Indonesian coffee has become increasingly popular in Poland, while more Indonesian consumers are showing interest in Polish products.
The event, hosted by the Embassy of Poland in Indonesia, commemorated the May 3, 1791 Constitution, regarded as Europe’s first modern constitution and the second in the world.
Addressing Indonesian officials and foreign diplomats attending the ceremony, Szymanowska also stressed the importance of upholding United Nations Charter principles, including respect for territorial integrity, humanitarian values, and international law amid current global challenges.
She noted that Indonesia and Poland also cooperate through the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), where both countries contribute to peacekeeping missions. “Poland also pays tribute to Indonesian soldiers who lost their lives while carrying out peacekeeping duties,” she said, as quoted by Antara.
Beyond political and security cooperation, economic ties between Indonesia and Poland have continued to expand in recent years.
Szymanowska described the Constitution of 3 May 1791 as an extraordinary milestone in Polish history, saying Poland chose a path based on freedom, social responsibility, and public interest at a time when many European states were still ruled by absolute monarchies.
She added that Poland’s national spirit endured despite the country being divided and controlled by foreign powers for more than a century. “It was courage, determination, and belief in the values of freedom that allowed Poland to rise again and develop,” she added.
According to the ambassador, Poland has since become one of Europe’s most successful economies and an increasingly active participant in international forums.
“Perhaps that is why Poland is a special country for Indonesia because both nations share similar views on sovereignty, independence, and building the future of the nation,” she continued.
The event was attended by Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection Minister Arifah Fauzi and Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology Stella Christie, along with ambassadors from several countries including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Turkey. ***
