Macron visits Poland to lay foundation for bilateral cooperation
French President Emmanuel Macron visited Poland for talks with President Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Donald Tusk, focusing on security, energy, and defense cooperation. The visit aimed to strengthen bilateral ties and lay groundwork for a strategic cooperation agreement next year. Discussions centered on the Ukraine conflict, with Macron advocating for deploying Western troops, though Poland expressed skepticism.
Macron also addressed energy issues, including nuclear power, with French firms offering significant financial support for Poland’s first nuclear plant. Defense collaboration, including potential submarine and satellite partnerships, was also highlighted.
