The coronavirus pandemic was the main topic of Mateusz Morawiecki's talks with French President Emmanuel Macron. However, there were also talks on economic cooperation, energy, and the EU Reconstruction Fund.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki spent several hours on the Seine on Wednesday (March 17). The highlight of his visit was a meeting with President Emmanuel Macron. This is the first visit of the head of the Polish government to the Elysée Palace in 3.5 years and the first at such a high level since the French president's visit to Poland last year.
“We must act in solidarity. I believe very strongly in the European Union, in transatlantic cooperation, I believe in the effectiveness of the Reconstruction Plan, in the friendship of the Polish and French nations,” Prime Minister Morawiecki said after his meeting with the French president.
Macron also insisted that the pandemic requires collective action.
"We will defend a common front in the fight against the coronavirus," he stressed.
Both politicians, therefore, supported the European Union's policy in the face of the crisis caused by another coronavirus attack.
The French president emphasized the joint action of the European Union and its steps in the fight against the coronavirus.
"European unity is for our citizens an expression of not only the same treatment of this matter and solidarity, but it will also reassure them that the Union is taking the right steps," the French politician said.
