From 21 to 23 January 2026, Poland’s top diplomat Radosław Sikorski took part in several Davos meetings on international security, geopolitical changes, and the situation in Ukraine. During talks with politicians, business leaders, and academia, he emphasised that Europe must strengthen its capacity to act independently while remaining open to international cooperation.

The head of Polish diplomacy reiterated that the threat from Russia and our continued support for Ukraine remain in the focus. During the Ukrainian Breakfast, he said that: 'Poland is actually the only NATO and EU country that borders both Russia and Ukraine. If Ukraine does not end up within defensible borders as a result of the deal, we will be planting the seeds of the next war. To get to a fair deal, you have to put pressure not on the victim of aggression, but on the aggressor'. 

Poland’s deputy prime minister also expressed his appreciation to the Ukrainian people, who, despite difficult winter conditions and constant interruptions in gas and electricity supplies, are standing out against the aggressor in solidarity. 

At the Davos forum, Deputy Prime Minister Radosław Sikorski also met with Argentina’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Trade, and Worship Pablo Quirno. The ministers discussed economic and expert cooperation, Russia's aggression against Ukraine, and a bilateral extradition agreement. Poland’s top diplomat also discussed cooperation within the G20 as well as enhancing trade and investment flow with South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Ronald Lamola. The experience and history of development of both countries can serve as a good example. Therefore, the ministers agreed that the exchange of good practices between Poland and South Africa, including on a regional level, is an important element of cooperation. 

Moreover, Minister Sikorski met with representatives of businesses keen to invest in Poland. During the talks, the foreign minister promoted the achievements of Poland's transformation and the strength of our economy, emphasising that since 1990, Poland's GDP per capita has increased more than eightfold, and last year saw Poland become one of the world's twenty largest economies.
