The plan for the final day of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki’s visit to the United States includes a discussion at the Atlantic Council, a meeting with representatives of the International Monetary Fund, and a session with Ukraine’s Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, as stated by government spokesman Piotr Müller.
A substantive agenda for the visit
The Polish prime minister has been in the United States since Tuesday, engaging with U.S. leaders and industry alike. On the first day, he held talks with Vice President Kamala Harris. The second day featured visits to Lockheed Martin facilities and the Anniston Army Depot, sites involved in the production of F-35 fighters and Abrams tanks destined for Poland.
Morawiecki’s final day in the country opens with a session at the Atlantic Council, a Washington-based think tank known for shaping policy discussion and influencing public opinion on geopolitics and security matters.
One of the central themes highlighted by Müller is the geopolitical friction stemming from Russia, alongside ongoing considerations about China. The discussions come amid broader discourse on European approaches to these issues and the evolving role of China in global economic relations, as reflected in remarks from European leaders and ongoing commentary in the United States.
At the Atlantic Council, the dialogue will also touch on Russian aggression in Ukraine and the implications for regional and global stability, with views on how European partners respond to the crisis.
Later on Thursday, at the Ukrainian side’s request, a bilateral meeting is planned in Washington between Morawiecki and Ukraine’s prime minister, Denys Szmyhal, who is visiting the United States concurrently.
According to Müller, the IMF session will conclude the official program, focusing on the global economy, risks associated with the war, and liquidity concerns affecting some banks worldwide. Behind the scenes, discussions are also expected to cover Ukraine’s reconstruction and related financial support, with potential benefits for Polish companies involved in the rebuilding effort.
The spokesperson underscored that Poland’s recent agreements with Ukraine position Polish enterprises to play a meaningful role in reconstruction initiatives, aligning with broader regional development goals.
On Wednesday evening, Morawiecki announced in a social media post that he would participate in an interview with the Atlantic Council on Thursday afternoon to present Poland’s stance on the geopolitical shifts currently under way in Europe.
