- We are at the Defence Industry Forum, on Polish-Swedish initiative. Everything changed the moment Sweden joined NATO. Since then, our history in the North Atlantic Alliance is very different. Since then, all our actions have acquired a completely new pace, especially in the Baltic Sea, for which I am very thankful. This is undoubtedly an important moment for Europe, for the world and for the relations between our countries. When we are together - in Warsaw, in Stockholm, in Brussels - Poland and Sweden are key partners, friends and allies for each other, on whom we and other countries can rely. On behalf of the people of Poland, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to such a high level of our relations, as well as thank the people of Sweden - the Kingdom of Sweden - for the support and aid, as well as being ironclad allies - said the deputy prime minister W. Kosiniak-Kamysz during the Polish-Swedish forum for security and defence.

- The first panel concerned the ability to deter, NATO strategy and plans, but also something that is important to us and that I stressed in my speech, the Eastern Sentry operation established on the request of Poland after the violations of our airspace. We believe that this operation should be not just an activity, but a steady, well-planned multi-stage action connected with Baltic Sentry, so that these two operations that Poland initiated can be part of NATO strategy. Another topic was the support for Ukraine and here Poland is the country that provides this support from the first day of the conflict in the Ukraine. Our crucial mission, appreciated by other member states of the Alliance, is the transfer and securing of equipment and humanitarian aid, participation of our soldiers and security services in it. This operation could not function without Poland - stressed the deputy prime minister W. Kosiniak-Kamysz in Brussels.

We know that peace needs strength, it needs ability, training, well-trained troops and a strong alliance - the resilience of our societies. We are here today together with the ministers from Norway and Estonia, and high representatives from the other countries: Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Finland, Iceland. We are with our friends from Ukraine - with the deputy minister of defence and other representatives of the Ukrainian state. We are here with soldiers. We are here with American commanders. We are here to show unity, agency, strength and resilience and preparedness. I am very grateful to the Kingdom of Norway, and to the soldiers of the Norwegian Armed Forces. I want to personally thank you, Tore, for taking up this challenge in a very short time - a decision made in May, the camp where 1200 soldiers can train at any one time opened on 1 October - underscored deputy prime minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz during the opening of Camp Jomsborg.

- We have an ironclad alliance with Norway, who has been proving it for years. Together, we are building a training centre at the Nowa Dęba training grounds.This shows Norway's great involvement in cooperation. We are similar in our outlook on dangers, and react to them in a similar way. Norway is our proven ally. They can always count on us - said the deputy prime minister after the meeting with the minister of defence of Norway.

- It was a very busy night for the Polish Armed Forces, for all services, for pilots, for ground personnel, for all elements of the Polish state security system. From yesterday evening, in fact, right after my arrival in London, I was in contact with General Klisz, who made the decision to activate all forces and resources. All night, all systems and resources available for the security of the Polish state, needed for this operation, were activated. Both Polish and allied procedures worked. I would like to thank above all those who are carrying out this mission all the time. This stage has ended, but military service and all allied duties, of course, continue. I particularly thank the pilots of the Air Force and the officers of the Air Force of the Kingdom of the Netherlands - emphasized Deputy Prime Minister W. Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference regarding the unprecedented violation of Polish airspace by drone-type objects.

We have signed another agreement regarding cooperation with Sweden. We are developing our defence industries, purchasing equipment from one another. We had a joint session of working groups from Polish and Swedish defence industries. These are the tangible effects of cooperation: presence of troops, trade, joint procurement, joint exercises. I am grateful for the signing of this agreement, which elevates the relations between our countries and between the Armed Forces of Poland and Sweden to the highest level. This means new capabilities, new skills - the best cooperation. We are friends, we are allies, we are responsible for one another - said the deputy prime minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in Kielce.
