Although Taiwan and Poland do not maintain formal diplomatic relations, the two countries share close ties built on economic and technological cooperation, and cultural exchanges. In Taipei, the Polish representative office plays a key role in fostering these connections, regularly organizing concerts, exhibitions, and book fairs to showcase Poland’s culture. FTV reporter Stephany Yang sat down with the Polish Office’s public diplomacy and cultural affairs expert to learn more about how these initiatives are strengthening the bond between Taiwan and Poland.

Recently, Poland showcased Polish literature, poetry, and children’s books at the Taipei International Book Exhibition. Selected titles were also available in Mandarin, strengthening cultural exchanges between Taiwan and Poland.

I am very impressed by the fair itself, by the number of young people coming here. And then, by the quality of production of children’s books, for instance. They are really beautiful. And then, an important point is the openness of Taiwanese publishers for translation.

Literature is only a part of Polish culture that we promote. We are the Polish Office. We also have other events like classical music concerts, we have jazz music concerts, we have graphic designers coming to Taiwan, and different exhibitions in place in Taiwan. Not only in Taipei—we are going more far. Also to Tainan, Kaohsiung, and we even have an event in Pingtung last year.

These initiatives highlight Poland’s commitment to showcasing a wide spectrum of its culture in Taiwan, reaching audiences across the island and building bridges through art, literature, and music.

The biggest event we actually have year by year is in Daan Park. It is the Chopin Outdoor Recital where we have very beautiful performances by pianists in the Daan outdoor theater. Last year it was Wei-Ting Hsieh, a pianist from Taiwan, who performed twice in the Chopin Competition in Poland. We have plans to repeat it also this year. There is a project called One Voice. One Voice is a collaboration of Polish and Taiwanese singers who sing together. This one is in May. All of the concerts will be announced soon on our Facebook but we also have jazz musicians, including jazz star Anna Maria Jopek, coming to Taiwan this autumn.

Through these cultural exchanges, the Polish Office in Taipei hopes to continue to strengthen ties with Taiwan, creating opportunities for collaboration and appreciation across literature, music, and the arts.
