Foreign affairs ministers of the Visegrad Group countries have voiced “strong support” for the Eastern Partnership during a meeting in Warsaw. “We would like the Eastern Partnership to bring the Eastern Partnership countries closer to the European Union, and at the same time to significantly increase the quality of life in these countries,” Poland's Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski said.
Representatives from Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Czechia added that the EU should offer closer ties to Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine as soon as the bloc summit in November. “We want the Partnership program to accelerate, to be more comprehensive and to involve people and their standard of living,” Waszczykowski added.
