President Andrzej Duda announced changes in the National Security Bureau (BBN) and the leadership of the chancellery. Dariusz Łukowski has been appointed the new head of the BBN, and the president nominated Mirosław Wyklik as his deputy. Mieszko Pawlak, in turn, will serve as the deputy head of the BBN for international security policy.

The outgoing head of the BBN, Jacek Siewiera, was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta by the president for outstanding service to the state and society, and for achievements in public and professional activities.

Wojciech Kolarski will now serve as the head of the Office of International Policy in the Presidential Chancellery, with Nikodem Rachoń appointed as his deputy. Andrzej Duda also appointed Diana Głownia and Katarzyna Pawlak-Mucha, both to the positions of Undersecretary of State in the Presidential Chancellery.

– The tasks I am entrusting you with are extremely responsible and very difficult in these times, in the current political situation […]. There is little time left, and many important and difficult tasks. It can be safely said that, in some cases, I would even say time-sensitive – said President Andrzej Duda during the ceremony.

– Cooperation […] with our greatest ally, the United States, which now, during the period when a new American administration is being formed, which will carry out the tasks set by President Donald Trump, will also require from our side, and not only our opinion on many matters, because this opinion is sought on an ongoing basis, but above all, it will be necessary to cooperate with it as best as possible – he continued.

– It will be necessary to talk about plans related to building a security zone, about how to end the war in Ukraine, but in a way that ensures real, tangible security for NATO's eastern flank and the free world. […] Looking at it from a political perspective, not every ending of this war will be the right ending, and we know this perfectly well, and in this regard, our voice must be clearly heard – he went on to say.
