EU foreign policy chief in Warsaw: The European Union needs Poland very much

Federica Mogherini, a high representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, visited Warsaw on Thursday to discuss the July NATO summit, EU sanctions on Russia and Eastern Partnership. Mogherini met with President Andrzej Duda, Prime Minister Beata Szydło and Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski. “I personally count very much on Poland's contribution, also in terms of the follow up, in the implementation of the strategy, because a strategy is not only a piece of paper, it is a sense of direction and then you start working on it after it has been adopted,” the EU foreign policy chief said. “I think it is also self-evident in the foreign and security field that the European Union needs Poland, very much, as much as Poland needs Europe. Working together in the family, when it comes to foreign and security policy, is something that brings a lot to all of Europe," Mogherini concluded. It was Federica Mogherini's second visit to Poland's capital since taking office in November 2014.
