On 28 July, Foreign Ministers of Poland – Jacek Czaputowicz, Lithuania – Linas Linkevičius, and Ukraine – Dmytro Kuleba held in Lublin trilateral talks on cooperation within the EU and NATO as well as challenges posed by Russia’s activity in the region.

“We have met in the year that will see the centenary of landmark events of our joint history - the Pilsudski-Petlura Pact and the common struggle against the Bolshevik assailant. I am satisfied that today Polish-Ukrainian strategic relations are being strengthened as well,” said the top Polish diplomat Jacek Czaputowicz during a meeting with Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba.

During the coronavirus pandemic, Europe and the world need solidarity more than ever before. Poland plays an active role in helping the Eastern Partnership countries, Africa, the Middle East, and selected European states to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. We send Polish doctors to help treat patients, offer in-kind assistance, support Polish community actions worldwide and we do much more.

Cooperation within the EU and NATO, European prospects of the Western Balkans, the development of the Three Seas Initiative, and economic relations were on the agenda of today’s talks between Minister Jacek Czaputowicz and his Slovenian counterpart Anže Logar.

“Both publications presented today are extraordinary stories of outstanding Poles who despite being far away from their motherland, remained devoted to Poland while serving other nations with their mind and talent,” said Deputy Minister Szymon Szynkowski vel Sęk during a press briefing that promoted the books launched by the MFA.

“We express solidarity with Cyprus and Greece in defending their sovereign rights and we support attempts to resolve the contentious issues in the EU’s dialogue with Turkey, a country which remains an important partner for the EU in spite of the differences of opinion,” said Foreign Minister Jacek Czaputowicz at a Foreign Affairs Council meeting.

Today, on behalf of the Polish President, Minister Jacek Czaputowicz has presented Maciej Lang with the nomination to the position of the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Romania.
