Margot Wallström, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Sweden, will visit Warsaw at the invitation of Minister Jacek Czaputowicz. The meeting will be linked to this year’s celebrations of the hundredth anniversary of establishing Polish-Swedish diplomatic relations and the tenth anniversary of the launch of the Eastern Partnership by Poland and Sweden.

Following the bilateral meeting, the ministers will take part in a debate on the EU’s Eastern policy in the context of the 10th anniversary of the Eastern Partnership, at the National School of Public Administration.

As part of the anniversary celebrations, the foreign ministers of Poland and Sweden will pay a joint visit to Ukraine, which is the largest and most ambitious member of the Eastern Partnership. The purpose of the Kyiv visit is to present new proposals for the Partnership’s development as well as to reaffirm continued European support for Ukraine. The agenda includes meetings with President Volodymyr Zelenski, Foreign Minister-in-office Pavlo Klimkin, and activists from major non-governmental organisations. The ministers will also deliver a lecture on the Eastern Partnership and European support for Ukraine to students of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
