On Tadeusz Kościuszko's birthday, the first Kościuszko Forum took place in the framework of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union with the aim to support the Belarusian people's democratic aspirations. The Forum was hosted by the European Solidarity Centre, an institution that perpetuates the memory of the 1980 bid for freedom.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau: a place which became a symbol of unimaginable human suffering and barbarity.

In 2025, Poland holds a one-year presidency of the Community of Democracies, a global intergovernmental coalition of countries whose main goal is to promote democratic principles and standards worldwide.

The Presidency’s work carried out with the involvement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will focus on three areas: maximising support for Ukraine, maintaining current policies towards Russia and Belarus, and strengthening the security and resilience of the EU and its partners. The MFA is responsible for the substantive servicing of 945 meetings, including sessions of 38 working groups and committees at the Council of the European Union in Brussels and meetings in Poland.

This year’s Conference was launched by Polish Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Robert Kupiecki and NATO Acting Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs and Security Policy Javier Colomina.
