President Andrzej Duda with a visit to Italy

On Monday, Poland's President Andrzej Duda, accompanied by First Lady Agata Kornhauser-Duda, started a three-day visit to Italy. The Polish President has already met with the Prime Minister of Italy, Matteo Renzi, with whom he discussed the European migrant crisis, the Warsaw NATO summit 2016, energy issues, and a long-term strategy for Africa as a response to the migration crisis. "We have agreed with the prime minister that as regards solutions to the migration crisis, it should be resolved (...) where its sources are, that is where the situation is difficult today, the wartime situation from which people are fleeing, leaving their houses and fearing for their lives, for their future and for their children, and this results in migration pressure," President Duda concluded after the meeting in Rome. Meanwhile, the Italian PM admitted that there were points which lacked complete consensus, but there was a will to continue talks and stay in touch. On Tuesday, the Polish presidential couple will meet the President of Italy, Sergio Mattarella. On Wednesday, Andrzej and Agata Duda will take part in the observances marking the 72nd anniversary of the Battle of Monte Cassino, and will meet with war veterans.
