The ministers discussed fundamental issues in the further development of bilateral relations including economic cooperation, expansion of infrastructural links, and energy security. They also noted the joint efforts to strengthen European defence. Special attention was paid to Ukraine, including to the need to ensure long-term support for Kyiv.

We have consistently stressed the need to ensure long-term support for the country which is fighting for its own freedom and the security of the whole Europe. A just peace does not punish the victim. We care for a stable and secure Ukraine in a strong European Union,” underlined Deputy Prime Minister Sikorski. 

Minister Petr Macinka declared:

The Czech Republic would like to actively contribute to slightly more dynamic local activity we have been observing in Ukraine, because we, the entire region, have a lot in common.

The ministers agreed that Poland and the Czech Republic share similar views on key issues such as energy security. During the consultations, they also identified both countries’ priorities in working on the future budget of the EU. 
Speaking with concern about the future of Central Europe, the top diplomats of Poland and Czechia referred to cooperation in the Visegrad format:

One cannot help but notice that the Visegrad cooperation potential has decreased in recent years due to discrepancies between the Visegrad Group states in regard to their position on the key issues of security and relations with Russia and Ukraine,” Deputy Prime Minister Sikorski observed.  

In that context, Poland’s foreign minister noted that the Visegrad Group is a format with a potential for bringing closer together and integrating the societies of Poland and Czechia. He added that Poland maintains a pragmatic approach to cooperation in the Group, prioritising its engagement in the matters that are significant from the citizens’ standpoint.  

The ministers also referred to the question of the Czech Republic’s “territorial debt” towards Poland. The debt has been unsettled for about 70 years now.

We have made significant progress today on an issue that has long remained unresolved—an old border debt that originated back in the 1950s,” Minister Petr Macinka said as he commented on returning borderlands to Poland.

The issue can be resolved by way of a joint flood control or other project carried out to the benefit of people living in Poland and Czechia.
