– A great moment for me, for my wife, with whom I am jointly hosting the US Secretary of Defense and his spouse. We warmly welcome you, thank you very much that as the first location of your official, bilateral visit, Mr. Secretary, you chose Poland. This is an expression of our partnership, our common friendship, our security strategy for the USA, for Poland, for Europe, and for the entire world. It is a great duty and honor for me to host Mr. Secretary in Poland and to discuss the most important challenges related to the security of Poland, the USA, Europe, and the world – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference with US Secretary of Defense Pete Heghseth.

– The Polish-American alliance has never been stronger than it is now, and we are capable of doing everything to develop it even further day by day. This is what we have agreed upon: joint investments, joint security guarantees, and enhancing our capabilities – he continued.

– Poland is a country that understands threats, sees them, feels them, because it has its own history, where these threats often caused military actions on our territory, in our beloved homeland, there was simply war – he emphasized.
