Poland and the United Kingdom are linked by strategic political cooperation in security, defence, and the economy. Warsaw and London unequivocally support Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The ministers agreed that the war must end on terms grounded in international law. Our countries have a similar assessment of Russia and support maintaining international pressure until its aggression ends.

By signing the Northolt Treaty last month, Brits and Poles have opened a new chapter in our relationship – one defined by closer cooperation in areas of security and defence. Both Poland and Britain understand the importance of military power under current circumstances.

The head of Polish diplomacy also met with representatives of the Polish diaspora and Poles living in the United Kingdom. The Polish community constitutes an important element of bilateral relations between Poland and the UK. Our community actively participates in the UK’s economic, social, and cultural life, while remaining a vibrant bridge connecting both countries.

Minister Sikorski stressed that Poland looks after the interests of its citizens abroad, and that their voices and experiences are an important component in shaping Poland’s foreign policy.
