President Duda participated in UN Summit on refugees

President Andrzej Duda participated in the United Nations summit on Monday, where he deliver a speech regarding the refugee crisis. "What is often lacking in discussions... is a distinction between economic migration and war refugees. These different phenomena need quite different answers," Duda said. “If we conflate the tragedy of refugees with the needs of economic migrants, we are not able to effectively help any of these groups," the president added. President Duda did also meet with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon with whom he discussed prospects for Poland's temporary membership of the Security Council in 2018-2019. The president is on a five day visit to the US.
