The main issues raised during this year's World Economic Forum in Davos were the challenges faced by governments and business as a result of the most groundbreaking geopolitical events of the past three decades – the war in Ukraine and the effects of a global pandemic. The head of the Polish government spoke to world leaders about the crucial events beyond our eastern border. In Switzerland, he encouraged politicians to introduce yet another – the sixth – package of sanctions against Russia as soon as possible. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki's visit to Davos was also an opportunity for numerous meetings with the heads of major companies – such as Google and Intel.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki is taking part in the World Economic Forum in Davos. This year's edition of the event is held in the shadow of Russia's brutal aggression against Ukraine. The Prime Minister began his visit to Switzerland with the official opening of the Polish House. For the third time, it will become a place of meetings and dialogue, among others, for national and international experts. Visitors participating in the discussions held at the Polish House will explore issues related to our culture and economy. Apart from domestic matters, topics related to current global challenges - such as the diversification of energy supplies or humanitarian aid for refugees from Ukraine - will also be high on the agenda.

The National Congress of Youth Dialogue was held in Warsaw. It was attended by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. The Congress provided an opportunity to strengthen the dialogue between the young generation and people who directly influence the issues of youth in Poland. The head of the Polish government answered young people's questions relating to, among other things, the economy, foreign policy and social policy.

The topic of the conversation between Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Meta’s President Nick Clegg was the functioning of social media platforms in the modern world and their growing role in the dissemination of information. These issues take on particular importance in the face of the Russian aggression in Ukraine. The fight against disinformation and the spread of harmful content is becoming a priority.

Aid to Ukraine and preparations for the NATO summit scheduled to take place in Madrid were the main topics of the meeting between Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and head of the Portuguese government Antonio Costa. The politicians also discussed European issues, including energy and international security. The Polish Prime Minister emphasised that we must build a strengthened flank of the European Union and the North Atlantic Alliance together.

We support Polish farmers when they need it. We have demonstrated this during challenging moments, such as droughts or the COVID-19 pandemic. Even now, when the world is battling inflation and war is raging across our eastern border, we are offering solutions that will benefit the Polish countryside. Farmers can rely on subsidies for fertilisers. This will help all Poles, who will pay less for food. However, this is not the only positive change in recent times. We have introduced higher subsidies for agricultural fuel and are currently amending agricultural pensions, as well as implementing subsidies exceeding the EU average for Polish farmers. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki spoke about the government's measures targeting farms. The head of government visited a farm located in the Wyszków district. During the visit, he emphasised that the government will do anything to help farmers transform the Polish countryside into a successful place.

During the Strategic Ark Conference organised by the Polish Institute of International Affairs, the Head of the Government stressed that if Ukraine wins against Russia, it will be mostly its own victory, but if it loses, the loss will be shared by all of us and will mark the end of the world as we know it. “For this reason, I call for isolation of the President of Russia. It is true that diplomacy requires dialogue, but one does not negotiate with terrorists. Criminals must be judged, and the Russian World ideology must be defeated and eliminated,” assessed the Prime Minister.

The Lesser Poland Congress for Family Fostering has ended in Wieliczka. The event provided an excellent forum for discussion between representatives of the Government, local governments, non-government organisations and foster families. The Congress ended with the Foster Care Gala, which was attended by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. The Head of the Government emphasised the great role played by foster families and carers in family-type children's homes in the lives of children and young people. The Prime Minister thanked them for their kindness, for their everyday struggles and for giving young people a chance for a better life.

We care about our senior citizens. We are implementing a number of effective solutions that make their everyday lives better. These include the 13th and 14th pensions, a tax-free pension of up to PLN 2,500, and, as of 1 July, another reduction in PIT rate - down to 12 per cent. This is actual support and more money in the household budgets of all senior citizens. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki visited the municipality of Świercze in the Mazowieckie voivodeship. The Head of the Government, during a meeting at the Senior+ Club, stressed that the Government will keep on working to improve pension rates in Poland. He also added that this is the time for the state, which generates new revenues, to be able to allocate them to support those who need it most.

The head of the Polish government spoke with US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. The talks concerned, among other things, the tightening of sanctions against Russia and the strengthening of NATO. The meeting is part of intensive Polish-US diplomatic contacts taking place in recent weeks. Our common objective is to coordinate an international response to Russia's military aggression against Ukraine. It is also a demonstration of commitment to European security and the strengthening of transatlantic ties.
