Today I can say that I know that there will be more, very sophisticated investments in Poland, in the latest investments, including defense investments; this is extremely important in the era of building and strengthening the Polish-American alliance, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said in Washington on Tuesday.
OUR CORRESPONDENCE FROM WASHINGTON: LIVE. The end of the meeting between Morawiecki and Harris. “We propose to the US a strategic partnership at all possible levels”
“Vaccine against Russian imperialism”
During the briefing after the meeting with US Vice President Kamala Harris, the prime minister stressed that close relations between Poland and the US are “the best vaccine against Russian imperialism”.
And I’m very glad that we understand it both in Warsaw and here in Washington. The White House and Madam Vice President have a very good understanding of the enormous risks associated with a Russian invasion
said Morawiecki.
Polish-American projects
He added that in addition to this issue, among the topics of conversations with Harris, they discussed matters related to the presence of US business and US energy, as well as the US defense industry on the territory of the Republic of Poland.
It’s been a long time since there was a year like this last year, when Poland’s rapprochement with the US was so intense, when it happened that we started a lot of new, essentially key projects for us
emphasized the prime minister.
One of the projects discussed was – as he indicated – the nuclear energy project. He emphasized that the presence of US investors here is particularly intense and particularly important.
The prime minister stressed that in his opinion “it is clear that not only the presence of US soldiers and US bases on Polish territory, but also the huge presence of US business is part of our security.”
And the fact that more and more of this business, American entrepreneurs, are coming to Poland, I’ve said before, but today I can say from Washington that I know there will be further investment in Poland, very sophisticated investment, investment in the latest investments, but also defense investments. This is extremely important in the era of building and strengthening the Polish-American alliance
said the prime minister.
He noted that Poland is becoming an increasingly important partner for the US; he argued that Poles are seen in the US as “those who have common sense policies in the EU forum”.
The head of the Polish government added that in the conversation with Harris they also raised the issue of threats, including in relation to the Far East, migration and climate change.
“Strategic partnership at all possible levels”
Poland proposes a strategic partnership at all possible levels with the United States. This is the best way for Poland for years to come, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said in Washington on Tuesday.
Poland proposes a strategic partnership at all possible levels with the United States. This proposal, on the other hand, is received with great approval
said Morawiecki.
Poland is a supporter of the transatlantic alliance in the broadest sense of the word. This is something extremely important for us and for all of Europe
– added.
According to Morawiecki, a policy based on a close alliance with the US within the EU is the best path for Poland in the coming years.
The prime minister expressed satisfaction that the US authorities understand that there are not many allies in Europe as close to the United States as Poland is.
Some look to the Far East somewhere, others are lost after the nightmarish mistakes of gas policy and the buying of natural resources from Russia. Different countries are in different places when formulating their geopolitical message. Meanwhile, we Poles can proudly say: the PiS government foresaw Russian threats
– said the Prime Minister, pointing to the actions that would make Poland independent of Russian raw materials.
Morawiecki reported that he also spoke to Harris about economic challenges.
It is the Russian inflation that affects the American citizens and the same Russian inflation that affects the Polish citizens
he said.
More American equipment in Poland!
US Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at our meeting about strengthening the permanent military presence in Poland, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki informed. As he added, the vice president spoke not only about soldiers, but also about the construction of warehouses for US equipment, of which “there will be more and more” in Poland.
At a briefing in Washington, the prime minister confirmed that he had spoken with Kamala Harris about the presence of US troops in Poland, among other things.
Madam Vice-President spoke about strengthening the permanent presence
he stressed.
We remember that only a few years ago this discussion about permanent presence was running high in the Republic of Poland. Therefore, I am very pleased that the Vice President spoke not only about this additional presence of several thousand soldiers, but also about the construction of a base and storage areas for the accumulation of equipment, American weapons
explained the head of government.
Equipment is – according to the prime minister – most important today.
This shows the Russian aggression we are facing, our eastern neighbours. And there will be more and more of this equipment in Poland
– he said.
As he noted, at the meeting he also mentioned the anti-missile shield being built in Redzikowo in northern Poland.
The United States is fully convinced to strengthen its presence in Poland
added Morawiecki
