Pakistan–Poland relations refers to bilateral relations between Poland and Pakistan, which date back to the 1940s. After the Independence of Pakistan on August 14, 1947, Liaquat Ali Khan, the first Prime minister of Pakistan, made the first diplomatic approaches to the People's Republic of Poland and finally, on December 17, 1962, Pakistan became one of the first Muslim countries to establish relations with then-communist government of Poland. Poland opened an embassy in Karachi in 1962, but moved it to Islamabad Capital Venue in 1965.〔 The Pakistani Government opened its embassy in Warsaw in 1969. Currently, Poland also maintains a cultural Consulate-General in Karachi〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://poland.visahq.com/embassy/Pakistan/ )〕 as well as an honorary Consulate-General in Lahore. ==History== (詳細はSoviet Union under Joseph Stalin had annexed Eastern Poland, forcing Polish intellectuals, scientists, technicians, and others to emigrate and seek refuge in neutral countries. More than 30,000 Polish citizens sought refuge in Karachi, which was then governed by the British Empire. Some remained in Karachi, becoming citizens of the newly established State of Pakistan in 1947.〔 During World War II, the city of Karachi, the chief port in the territory that would become Pakistan, hosted around 30,000 Polish refugees. Some Polish academics joined the faculty of Karachi University, teaching courses ranging from physical sciences to social sciences. After the independence of Pakistan, Władysław Turowicz, along with thirty Polish officers and technicians, contributed to and assisted in the establishment of the Pakistan Air Force. On 14 August 2006, a memorial was erected in the Pakistan Air Force Museum in Karachi to acknowledge the services of the Polish airmen led by Air Commodore Turowicz.〔 The relationship between the two countries grew under the administration of President Musharraf.〔http://www.defence.pk/forums/general-defence/4855-pakistan-poland-enhance-ties-defence-production-musharraf.html〕 However, these close relations underwent tension when Pakistani Taliban members captured and brutally murdered a Polish engineer, Piotr Stanczak, in September 2008. He was beheaded by militants in February after talks with the government for the release of captured Taliban members failed. 〔http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/KG30Df03.html〕 Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency launched an inquiry into the crime. The FIA arrested former parliamentarian Maulana Abdul Aziz along with other perpetrators.〔http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/news/pakistan/12-ex-legislator+named+in+plot+to+kill+polish+engineer--bi-12〕 Aziz and Attaullah, another suspect in the engineer’s murder, was brought to Anti-Terrorism Court II in an armored personnel carrier under the protection of Islamabad and Attock police. The judge granted remand to the police of the former member of the National Assembly, who was elected on the ticket of Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal in 2002. The Bosal police also obtained two days’ physical remand of Attaullah. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pakistan–Poland relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
