The Philippines and Poland have signed an agreement aimed at paving the way for government-to-government deals on defence equipment, including Manila’s planned acquisition of additional Polish-made Sikorsky Black Hawk multirole helicopters, according to Philippine media reports.
The new accord – known as the ‘Implementation Arrangement with Regard to the Purchase of Arms and Military Equipment’ – was signed on 7 April by Philippine Defense Assistant Secretary Jesus Rey Avilla and Polish Brigadier General Karol Dymanowski, according to an announcement made the following day by the Polish Embassy in Manila.
