History
editIn April 1939, an honorary consulate of Poland was founded in Salisbury, elevated to a Consulate-General in 1943, and closed in 1945.[1]
During World War II, Polish refugees escaping the Soviet Union, were admitted in Southern Rhodesia, mostly in Rusape and Marondera.[2] As of December 1944, their total number was 1,437.[2] After the war, in 1946, all Poles in Southern Rhodesia were relocated to Gatooma from other refugee camps.[3] A repatriation office was established in Gatooma, and 1,319 Poles were repatriated to Europe, 500 were relocated to Tanganyika, except for some 120 people who stayed.[4]
Bilateral relations between Poland and newly independent Zimbabwe were established in 1981.
A double tax avoidance treaty was signed in Harare in 1993.[5]
