President Mattarella has been in Poland on an official visit since Sunday, having spoken with President Andrzej Duda on Monday. On Tuesday, he held discussions with Prime Minister Morawiecki, focusing on strategic cooperation that spans security, politics, and economic development, as well as aligning efforts tied to the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
According to the Prime Minister’s Chancellery, the meetings underscored shared commitments to strengthen the partnership and coordinate steps on regional stability and defense, trade facilitation, and collaborative responses to regional challenges.
Common trade and a vision of the future of Europe
In a social media post, Morawiecki expressed satisfaction with the growing trade between Poland and Italy and affirmed a shared, forward-looking perspective on Europe’s trajectory. The dialogue emphasized not only commercial expansion but also converging views on broader European policy, energy security, and resilient supply chains that benefit both countries and the wider region.
Mattarella also arranged meetings with the President of the Sejm, Elżbieta Witek, and with the President of the Senate, Tomasz Grodzki, as part of a broader program that showcases high-level parliamentary collaboration alongside executive talks.
In the afternoon, the Italian president, accompanied by his daughter, visited the former German Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau.
