U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken extended his congratulations to Radosław Sikorski upon his assumption of leadership at the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and reaffirmed the United States’ intention to deepen the U.S.-Poland partnership. The emphasis was placed on building a relationship grounded in shared history and shared values that span across the Atlantic and into North America.
In a statement released by the State Department, Blinken articulated a firm commitment to advancing the U.S.-Poland partnership, underscoring common roots and enduring transatlantic principles as the foundation for ongoing cooperation.
Blinken also highlighted Poland’s continued support for Ukraine and its people, along with steadfast collaboration in defense matters, civilian nuclear energy initiatives, and overall commitment to the NATO alliance. These elements were presented as integral to the bilateral agenda moving forward.
The remarks noted an intention to pursue further dialogue and cooperation, reinforcing the importance of direct engagement between senior officials from both nations to coordinate policy and practical steps in the near term.
Previously, a statement from Poland’s Foreign Ministry indicated optimism about arranging a direct meeting in Washington with Minister Sikorski early next year, reflecting a shared interest in accelerating bilateral discussions and practical cooperation.
The overall message conveyed a strong sense of partnership and mutual trust, with each side expressing readiness to address regional security challenges, energy collaboration, and ongoing diplomatic coordination within the framework of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and allied efforts.
In addition to the public statements, officials stressed that ongoing collaboration would continue to address Ukraine’s humanitarian needs, regional stability, and the alignment of strategic objectives across multiple sectors including defense and energy policy.
Both countries are positioned to reinforce their enduring alliance through regular high-level exchanges, joint initiatives, and coordinated responses to emerging global threats, all while honoring shared democratic values and the long-standing framework of the U.S.-Poland partnership.
