On his visit to Warsaw, the UK Prime Minister David Cameron said on Friday that he is working towards a "full strategic partnership" between Warsaw and London on a range of issues, including that of security. The head of the British government is touring Europe to win support for his EU renegotiation package.
At a joint conference with Cameron, Prime Minister Beata Szydło said that Poland "fully supports the prime minister's proposals regarding solutions that are aimed at improving competitiveness, removing red tape and granting proper significance to national parliaments."
But the issue of altering the system of welfare benefits remains a bone of contention. "There are always topics that need to be ironed out," she told reporters. "Over a million Poles live and work in Britain. Their work is boosting Britain's GDP and we want them to enjoy the same kind of opportunities for development as Britons."
Later on, David Cameron met head of the ruling Law and Justice party Jarosław Kaczyński.
"Poland has ... gained here really very much, full safety, above all, for all those who are in Britain right now, but also that those who have children in Poland will continue to receive benefits, they may be adjusted, but they will get them anyway," Kaczyński said.
