[1][2] Poland–Ethiopia relations began in the early 1930s when the first Polish chargé d'affaires Juliusz Dzieduszycki arrived in Addis Ababa to attend Haile Selassie's coronation.

In 1934, the two countries signed the Treaty of Friendship, Trade, and Settlement, ratified by Poland in 1935,[6] It was thwarted by the Italian invasion that followed.

A year later, in 1961, diplomatic missions between Poland and Ethiopia were elevated to the rank of embassies in Addis Ababa and Moscow.

Since then, the two countries strengthened their relations through reciprocal visits by representatives and the signing of agreements covering trade, aviation, loans, culture, and media.

During the visit, representatives from the Polish and Ethiopian Ministries of Foreign Affairs held consultations, and both countries sat together in the UN Security Council.
