The Romanian-Polish Solidarity Day came into force on 14 April 2023 following a joint initiative of the Foreign Ministers of the two countries at the time, Bogdan Aurescu and Zbigniew Rau respectively.
March 3 has a special symbolism in the bilateral relations, evoking the signing, in Bucharest, on March 3, 1921, of the "Convention of defensive alliance between the Kingdom of Romania and the Republic of Poland", by the two Foreign Ministers of the time, Take Ionescu and Eustachy Sapieha, who had the full powers and firm support of their heads of state, King Ferdinand I and Marshal Jozef Pilsudski, a document by which the two sides agreed to provide armed assistance in the event of an unprovoked attack on their eastern border, according to the Romanian Foreign Ministry.
