President Duda attends United Nations summit in New York

On September 17, Poland's President Andrzej Duda started a five-day trip to the United States and has already took part in summit of United Nations, which was focused on the migrant crisis. "The scale of migratory flows in the world of today is immense. According to estimates in my country, Poland, permanently reside more than one million of economic migrants, mainly coming from the East. In turn, based on various estimated figures, about one up to two million of citizens left Poland to work in other European Union countries," the President proclaimed during the UN summit. According to Duda's speech, there are two tasks ahead of the leaders: incumbent on the international community to eliminate the real root causes behind refugee flows & to restore to everyone the right to live in his or her home country; and duty to engage in cooperation for a permanent erasure of criminal procedures run by the people who in an inhumane way prey on the tragedy of refugees. On September 20, President Duda will deliver a speech at the General Debate of the 71st session of the United Nations General Assembly.
