Last week a delegation headed by South Korea's defence minister Shin Won-sik arrived in Poland and took part in the 'Poland-South Korea Strategic Dialogue' organised in Warsaw on Friday.
It looks like deal for another 180 K-2 tanks should be signed in September.(And it was not signed, tough negotiations)

First 30 tanks from new contract will be delivered in 2026.

If it weren't for the traitorous former president, the contract would have been signed much sooner. We Koreans are hoping that the defense minister will be appointed soon and fly to Poland.
