President Duda visits Estonia
11:37
President Andrzej Duda, in his first international trip, traveled to Estonia, where he met with Estonian leaders: President Toomas Hendrik Ilves, Prime Minister Taavi Rõivas and speaker of the Parliament Eiki Nestor. The visit coincided with the anniversary of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact signed on August 23, 1939.
Before he headed to the Baltic country, the president had expressed "his conviction that the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, especially its secret part, was a violation of international law, which always brings destabilization and conflict. Even today, when force is above the law it leads to conflict."
While in Estonia, President Duda said that he expects that NATO's allied military units and equipment be located in its eastern flank.
Duda also said that there is no peace in the world, if there is no respect for international law. "We cannot agree to the violation of borders and sovereignty. That's unfortunately happening again in Europe."
The president laid a wreath at the Monument of Independence in the Estonian capital.
