Summary/Abstract: Global power and wealth are shifting from the West to the East and Asia is emerging as a new centre of the global system. As Poland develops the global dimension of its foreign policy, the pivot to Asia is becoming a necessity. It has to expand into Asia more vigorously. The continuation of the high-level dialogue with major partners, expansion of its diplomatic and cultural presence, and more resources for the promotion and understanding of Asia will help Poland to diversify its exports and prop up the country’s international position.
