Ladies and gentlemen, I am flying to the US to strengthen the alliance with a country that guarantees the security of our part of Europe. This is a direct result of President Joe Biden’s recent visit to Poland and talks with President Andrzej Duda, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said at a press conference before leaving for the United States.
The Prime Minister’s visit to the US will last until Thursday. Government spokesman Piotr Müller, who announced the visit on Monday, said the main topics would be Polish-US economic cooperation and Polish security issues. Issues of cooperation in the energy sector will also be discussed. During the visit, the head of government will meet with US Vice President Kamala Harris and representatives of US defense companies. The Prime Minister will also attend a meeting at the headquarters of the Atlantic Council.
The strategic concept of partnership includes President Duda’s proposal to make the alliance between the European Union and the United States one of the main points of the Polish presidency in the EU. The alliance with the United States is the absolute basis of our security
he stressed.
Our security is based on two pillars: economic cooperation and defense cooperation. I am going to the United States to strengthen both pillars. First of all, I want to approve and expand our arms contracts – which also form the basis of our security in the future
– added.
I will also strengthen and develop our economic relations. The Americans have invested over $25 billion here, on the Vistula – that’s hundreds of thousands of jobs. The hardest part is building funding to complete the order in a timely manner. Such talks will take place in the US financial market.
I want to create tens of thousands of new jobs by expanding our cooperation, by strengthening cooperation in nuclear energy. Polish atom in collaboration with the best US suppliers – this is our goal. This is precisely the strategic partnership between Poland and the United States
said the prime minister before leaving.
Of course, together with our American allies, we will ensure appropriate logistics facilities. Several thousand pieces of NATO military equipment will be stored in various places in Poland. This makes us a lot safer. This military equipment will make it possible to activate NATO’s eastern flank very quickly, should the need arise. This possibility alone will deter our enemies
he noticed.
We know what a nightmare the dream of cooperation with Russia ended for our part of Europe. From the very beginning, our government warned against these dramatic mistakes that the gas policy in cooperation with Russia led to. My first meeting in the United States was with Vice President @KamalaHarris. That’s where we’ll talk. on aid to Ukraine.
In less than two years, under the motto of strengthening partnership and transatlantic relations, the EU Presidency led by Poland will contribute to strengthening security through defense cooperation, expansion of Polish energy programs and new jobs in cooperation with American companies
he stressed.
Morawiecki announced that he would participate in an economic summit organized by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
To get funding for Poland, to show how Poland is developing well, what a good place it is for American investors
he said.
