Later, at 2:00 PM, at the Krakow Technology Park, the Minister of National Defence will participate in the official opening of the Polish accelerator FORT KRAKÓW - DIANA Accelerator Poland, as part of the NATO DIANA network (Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic).

The Deputy Prime Minister is scheduled to give a speech at both events.

- I think I can explain to him [Karol Nawrocki] why they [the judicial bills] are good. The question is where, because I always analyze it and it seems to me that when we designed these bills, they were maximally compromise-oriented, truly maximally compromise-oriented, because I have the rulings of Polish legal Supreme Court judges and European tribunals, which bind us. If we violate them, we will continue to pay damages - stated Waldemar Żurek in the "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.

- I think the president should thoroughly analyze the entire Constitution. He has the prerogative of nomination, but on the other hand, there is a motion from a legal body, the National Council of the Judiciary (KRS), and all these problems we have stem from the dismantling of the Constitutional Tribunal and from the fact that the KRS was destroyed by a simple act, the constitutional term was broken, a political entity was created which simply breathes nepotism in these nominations - stated Waldemar Żurek in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- I will tell the President this: Mr. President, if you do not want to reform this with us, the responsibility will fall on you, and in my opinion, citizens are truly beginning to understand this. They are educating themselves constitutionally at breakneck speed - stated Waldemar Żurek in the program “Rozmowa Piaseckiego” on TVN24.

- Indeed, I have no intention of holding secret meetings with the President, because I know how it ends, that secret meetings later become public. Besides, I believe that I am a member of the government and I have a Prime Minister, I am loyal to the Prime Minister, so if there is such a will, but it must come from the President's side, because I cannot go knocking, "knock knock, I, Minister Żurek, would like to talk to you." The President must know the importance of these laws - stated Waldemar Żurek in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- [Nordic countries] look at us very favorably; we have very good cooperation with Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Denmark as well. When help was needed in Copenhagen to protect the airport during the European summit, Poland was one of the first countries to send anti-drone systems and its soldiers - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in "Polityczne Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- We have our good relations, and they remain so, but there must also be countries that ensure this transatlantic bond is not weakened. We have this role to play in Europe today. The European team consists of players in different positions: some are in attack, others in midfield, and a third group plays defense, and responsibility must be shared here. Poland is the link between the US and Europe - Kosiniak-Kamysz continued.

- There is no such investigation [into Patrycja Kotecka]. At least, that's the information I'm receiving from the prosecution. I was a victim in the so-called 'Hatergate' affair and I saw some evidence there, which I cannot discuss, but there is no investigation into this matter, no charges, and I know there are no such plans either. The secrecy of the proceedings [whether the 'Hatergate' affair somehow touched upon Patrycja Kotecka], I cannot speak about, I apologize - stated Waldemar Żurek in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- Someone started it, someone dealt with it, someone spoke about it from the very beginning. Then, yesterday, everyone was boasting on X that they had defended it, even though the PiS and Confederation motions failed on the same issue. They woke up too late, they submitted their motion maybe a week ago. Their motion failed by 200 votes, so that advantage is not small when you consider how other motions failed; the PSL's motion won. It's good that other Polish MEPs voted, I agree 100%, thank you very much, because that's what we appealed for in the Sejm resolution, and this appeal from the PSL has been heard again - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in “Polityczne Graffiti” on Polsat News.

- I am glad that President Duda is now only bringing shame upon himself, because he used to bring shame upon all of us. Perhaps he should buy a bigger car, that's how I'll cynically respond to him. The trunk issue was a rhetorical figure, and please remember what I said. There are services that transport people in the trunk and they do so in accordance with the law of a given country. No one will persuade me to act like that; I will act according to the letter of the law - stated Waldemar Żurek in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- If I were to assess this speech [Donald Trump's yesterday at Davos] very honestly and quite apolitically, it was very weak. It was intra-American, it didn't point in any direction, there was no vision - said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz in an interview with Dominika Wielowieyska on 'Poranek TOK FM'.

- When you compare this speech with the speech of the Canadian leader, there was a vision for the future, clarity, a diagnosis of the situation. Here, chaos, an attack on Europe, some undefined announcements about Greenland after numerous extremely disturbing announcements. And here, it's impossible to say where the leader of the United States is heading today, other than towards chaos and some form of deconstruction - she assessed.

- I am in favour of filling these positions as much as possible. We have discussed this, and I believe there is agreement among all coalition parties. We will be presenting candidates [for the Constitutional Tribunal], I will be responsible for the PSL, the PSL will submit candidates - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in "Polityczne Graffiti" on Polsat News.

"The President will not be signing this protocol, nor will he be making any formal declarations. However, presence at the ceremony itself is a form of political interest in this subject matter and this form of cooperation with the Americans concerning the Middle East," said Marcin Przydacz in the RMF FM "Morning Interview."

"The fact that Poland was invited there [to the Peace Council] is a form of distinction. However, we need more time, information, and analysis here to be able to make a good final decision," he continued.

"Legal issues [...] the Sejm must express its opinion on this," he added.

- I did not participate in any such conversations. I know nothing about anything like that. I have no idea where this information comes from - said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on "Poranek TOK FM," when asked about reports suggesting that Szymon Hołownia is considering a "variant of formally leaving the coalition."

- I can say where I stand. I believe we should be part of the coalition, a part that has its own agenda, not by agreeing to everything and voting for everything without our own input, because we have our commitments, and we also have our own role in this coalition. A bit of an avant-garde role, of change, but within the coalition - she pointed out.

- People have chosen a pluralistic government and a pluralistic coalition, and we, with our own identity, are meant to be in this coalition. These are too serious matters to, I don't know, be taking some MPs out - she continued.

- For now, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the government, who claim to conduct foreign policy in response to every question, have gone quiet on this matter and are unable to say anything to Poles or the President - said Marcin Przydacz on RMF FM.

- After several days, indeed, a statement of a few sentences in which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says that it is indeed an interesting initiative, we will see. If we conducted foreign policy in this way, no decision could be made - he continued.

- The government dodged this issue because it wanted to blame the Presidential Office - he went on to say.

- There is a full understanding on the American side, yesterday's conversation with President Donald Trump was very good also on this topic [of the Peace Council], but what is most important, the president confirms security guarantees for Poland, confirms the fact of troop stationing in Poland, we can feel safe - said Marcin Przydacz on RMF FM.

- Absolutely, there is no change in American policy here [...]. Exactly these strong declarations [that we can feel safe] were made, President Trump said: well, I know there are various discussions, activities, but I assure you that Poland can feel safe, Poland is a key, model ally, in case of any concern, we are always with you - he continued.

- This is not a withdrawal from the elections, it is something completely different. The first round took place. In this first round, people democratically cast their votes. It is clear that I received twice as many votes as Paulina Hennig-Kloska, but together we received a really, really large number of votes - said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on "Poranek TOK FM".

- I proposed a solution that has worked very well in many parties: a unifying solution, where the result of democratic elections – we are only talking about elections, not any withdrawal from them – is not one where one person wins, there are winners and losers, but one where the largest possible portion of those who voted feel like winners - she explained.

- I believe our party needs this, that it is not enough to unite in words; concrete proposals are needed. And I proposed such a unifying, good solution, where many would feel like winners and many would feel represented. Paulina Hennig-Kloska decided otherwise - she stated.

- For reasons not related to politics, he [Szymon Hołownia] was traveling at that time, I believe literally on a plane, from what I understand. He was on a plane, but he was certainly present at the previous National Council meeting - Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz said on "Poranek TOK FM".

- Yes, because Poland should pursue an ambitious foreign policy, Poland should be active - Mariusz Błaszczak said on RMF FM, when asked if it was good that President Karol Nawrocki would appear at a ceremony related to the signing of the Peace Council, even though he himself would not be signing anything.

- This format was sanctioned by the United Nations last autumn - he continued.

- We have a very important, valuable asset: personal relations between President Nawrocki and President Trump. We see the strength of the United States, and besides, President Trump has outmaneuvered Putin several times already, Venezuela is an example of this - he went on to say, after the host pointed out that perhaps not entirely in that form.

- I think there's something non-obvious about this. We have this situation: there are elections in Poland 2050, one of our MEPs is invited by the Prime Minister for a conversation. As far as I know, MEPs from Civic Platform and others wait months for such invitations - Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz said on TOK FM’s “Poranek”.

- It is known that the Prime Minister does not just meet with every MP from every party. Suddenly, such a meeting takes place. The topic of the conversation - as Michał Kobosko explicitly stated - is the elections in Poland 2050, and nobody knows about this meeting - she continued.

- For me, it was very surprising. […] No one, not even the MEP who at that moment is not even on the board, no one on the Poland 2050 board knew about it, including Szymon Hołownia - she pointed out.

"We can build a strong position for Poland in our relations with the United States," Mariusz Błaszczak said on RMF FM.

"I am concerned about what is happening in the European Union. I fear the weakness of the European Union; indeed, we had an example of this weakness when Germany sent 15 soldiers to Greenland, other countries sent 2-3, it was a great embarrassment, and they returned after 40 hours, I believe," he continued, when asked if this alliance should be exclusively with the USA and if he wasn't afraid that it wasn't the most reliable ally.

"The European Union as a format for economic cooperation [...] is, of course, justified, but it does not have the potential to be a defense alliance. We have such an alliance; it is [...] NATO, in which the United States is the leader," he went on to say.

- I think this is a good move - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on Polsat News' "Polityczne Graffiti" (Political Graffiti).

- Rejecting without analysis would be a mistake, accepting without the constitutional process was impossible, so the advice we provided, perhaps to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also our public statements, seem to have reached the President, and he is not acting against the constitution, which involves a Council of Ministers decision, the acceptance of an international agreement in parliament, and its ratification and the president's signature, so one must act within such a system - Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz continued.

- Europe lacks the competence, it lacks the potential to create any defensive formats. This is completely senseless - said Mariusz Błaszczak on RMF FM, when asked if NATO will survive the turmoil, or if we will be forming new alliances, for instance, European-Ukrainian ones.

- We must be aware that to defend Poland, we must have a strong Polish army. And the strength of the Polish army, as was the case during the Law and Justice governments, can be built through close relations with the United States - he continued.

- We must build Fort Trump - he went on to say.

- A just solution requires: 1. Applying pressure not on the victim, but on the aggressor. 2. Ensuring Ukraine has defensible, permanent borders. 3. Understanding that, contrary to Russian propaganda, Putin is not a man of peace - wrote Radosław Sikorski on social media.

Sprawiedliwe rozwiązanie wymaga:
1. Wywarcia presji nie na ofiarę, ale na agresora.
2. Zapewnienia Ukrainie trwałych granic możliwych do obrony.
3. Zrozumienia, że wbrew rosyjskiej propagandzie Putin nie jest człowiekiem pokoju. pic.twitter.com/trPlBMMagO

- An attempted coup within the Polska 2050 club. Aleksandra Leo, exceeding her authority, tried to select the club's representation in the National Council behind the back of Paweł Śliz. This happened while Śliz is dealing with very sad family matters. Mindless and heartless. This is not the kind of politics we set out for - wrote Bartosz Romowicz on social media.

- Calm and order in Poland 2050 Szymona Hołowni are paramount values in a situation where the world trembles daily. And a parliamentary club is not a noble’s assembly. The chaos of polarization, brought into my party by the ongoing election campaign and the deadly battle of two candidate factions, has reached its apogee and must be immediately controlled. The current situation threatens not only the party but our coalition and the future of Poland. I founded this party, I nominated each and every one of you personally to the election lists and government positions. Today I have a simple message for you. Come to your senses. Enough is enough - wrote Szymon Hołownia on the X portal.

Spokój i porządek w Polsce 2050 Szymona Hołowni, to nadrzędne wartości w sytuacji, w której świat codziennie drży w posadach. A klub parlamentarny to nie szlachecki sejmik.

US President Donald Trump mentioned the Polish president in Davos.

- Thank you to Karol Nawrocki from Poland. A fantastic man. He won very important elections. We are very proud of him - said Donald Trump.

- It was a good, 40-minute meeting with President Trump, during which the President, of course, reaffirmed all allied commitments, everything we discussed during my first visit to the White House, regarding U.S. troops in Poland - stated Karol Nawrocki at a press briefing in Davos.

- Let me remind you, we have nearly 10,000 American soldiers in Poland, and [we discussed] investment in the development of military, martial infrastructure for soldiers in the USA in Lower Silesia, in Bolesławiec. This is what I advocated for when I went to see President Trump as the newly elected President of Poland. Nothing has changed in this regard, all declarations are still valid - the President of the Republic of Poland continued.

- Today, as you know, the inauguration of the Peace Council took place, a large, important project of President Donald Trump. As a guardian of the Constitution, I know the rules for Poland's accession to international organizations; this type of presidential signature naturally requires prior acceptance by the Polish parliament, some initiative from the Council of Ministers - stated Karol Nawrocki at a press briefing in Davos.

- I expressed enormous interest in the Peace Council; it is a prestige for Poland that Poland is invited to bodies that will also decide on Middle Eastern issues, the issues of war between Israel and Palestine. This is an expression of great respect for Polish soldiers, for Polish diplomacy, for the President of Poland, for the entire Polish nation - he continued.

- Due to constitutional and legislative matters, and a certain legal and systemic order in Poland, I did not sign - he further stated.

- I must admit that I expected something different from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, the opinion of one of the deputy directors from one of the MFA departments is a bit too little for a moment when global geopolitics is changing and a new international organization is being formed, and therefore the only formal document I received from the MFA… I don't know if you remember, I recommend everyone to watch Wojciech Mann, who in a sketch tells a story about a deputy director of a department in a ministry. That's what I immediately thought of - stated Karol Nawrocki at a press briefing in Davos.

- Prime Minister Donald Tusk is right, we remained in direct contact, also unofficially. It is natural, from the very beginning as a candidate for the office of president, but also as the president of Poland, I said that on security matters, the president and the Polish government must be on the same page - stated Karol Nawrocki at a press briefing in Davos.

- I will be meeting with President Zelensky very soon on the occasion of another format, I think this coming weekend. As for the anniversary [of the outbreak of the war], I have no such plans to travel to Kyiv or Ukraine - stated Karol Nawrocki at a press briefing in Davos.

- We are not focusing on what is most important. Today, when these words are not repeated by President Trump, but when he shares them with the public, crises arise, so it's difficult for me to speak on behalf of the EU here. I don't know what the EU leaders will do. Some EU leaders, including at official meetings I attended, and some representatives of the business world in Davos, still believe that climate change is the biggest problem in Europe and the world. I do not believe this. I think we are facing major conflicts worldwide - stated Karol Nawrocki at a press briefing in Davos.

- This is still Szymon Hołownia's Poland 2050. Not Ryszard Petru's, not Paulina Hennig-Kloska's, not Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz's - said Szymon Hołownia in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.

- I am still the chairman of Poland 2050 by decision of the National Council, and I also want to send a very clear signal to my colleagues that I am observing everything that is happening with growing concern - he continued.

- As long as this party bears my name and surname, it will not resemble the noble democracy of the 18th century - he further stated.

- If someone wants to be in Ryszard Petru's party, let Ryszard Petru create a party that he will build and successfully lead. If someone is thinking about building different kinds of factions or formations, let them build them and let them lead them successfully - said Szymon Hołownia in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.

- We are talking about Poland 2050, which I co-create with wonderful people, but I also bear very personal responsibility for it, connected to the history of this movement, still connected to its name, and I will not renounce this responsibility - Szymon Hołownia told journalists in the Sejm.

- I will not tolerate mess, chaos, and the like, and all my thoughts on what comes next, I carefully keep in my heart, waiting for a return to reason from those who are currently destroying, not building, in the name of Poland 2050 Szymona Hołowni - said Szymon Hołownia in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.

- No one can accuse me of being an authoritarian leader who, clinging to power, brought this movement to where it is. Because I wanted to cede that power. And what we are seeing today is the consequence of my desire to hand it over to successors - said Szymon Hołownia in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.

- Colleagues, this is not a noble's dietine in the 18th century, it is not the series '1670', this is Poland 2050. So, if anyone wants to create a 'Poland 1670', I invite them to other places, which are not lacking on the political scene, but this is, I apologize, no longer with me - said Szymon Hołownia in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.

- My assessment of this fact is that she exceeded her competencies, but in a parliamentary democracy, within a caucus, we have procedures that allow us to deal with such situations - Szymon Hołownia told journalists in the Sejm, when asked about Aleksandra Leo.

- I think we should consider joining this organization [the Peace Council], but when other countries also join, what the Prime Minister of Canada called [...] middle powers, meaning countries that feel like medium-sized powers - said Szymon Hołownia in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.

- We should look at what Canada is doing, what other countries of this kind are doing, and if necessary, join this organization so that our voice is heard - he continued.

"It's a shame that Mr. President doesn't appreciate that the government enabled him - without damage to PL-USA relations - to avoid a blunder. Poland should play as one team" - wrote Radosław Sikorski on X.

- It cannot be the case that, due to necessary and unnecessary turmoil and emotions, Ukraine has been pushed to the back burner, yet this is a crucial issue for our security and for Europe - Prime Minister Donald Tusk told journalists in Brussels.

- I will also try to convince our partners to return to the right place concerning geopolitics and our activity - he continued.

- We have somewhat wasted this... In Davos, we actually expected some resolutions regarding Ukraine, you remember the announcements from two weeks ago, and the fact that Ukraine has slipped down the agenda is very bad news. We will have to urge our American friends and all Europeans to once again focus on what is fundamental to our security - he added.

- From the very beginning, I also tried to explain to my colleagues here in the European Union, based on our experiences, also stemming from our history, that ingratiation, concessions, showing weakness, is not a method, and partners do not respect us then, I mean, I'm not even talking about adversaries - Prime Minister Donald Tusk said in a conversation with journalists in Brussels, when asked what he thought about the fact that it was not a policy of concessions, but blackmail, pressure, and the threat of retaliation from Europe that worked on Donald Trump.

- It is certainly good that the Union is mobilizing in some way and gaining more confidence in its own capabilities, but it would be bad, perhaps such ideas come to some minds, I hope not, to make this some kind of anti-American... - he continued.

- The key for the entire transatlantic community, the key to the security of Europe and the United States was mutual trust, not coercion, and we must all remember this - Prime Minister Donald Tusk told journalists in Brussels.

- We spoke with the President several times, we also exchanged reflections on what might happen in Davos and I must say that my suggestions, on how it would be safest for Poland to behave regarding the peace council, the President, well, probably shared the same view, so I don't want to suggest in any way that I issued any orders, that's not the point - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk in a conversation with journalists in Brussels.

- But I am glad that my opinion, which I expressed directly and conveyed to the President, has been realized. Probably because we both had a similar view on this matter - he continued.

- I had a long conversation with the President regarding what the Constitution says, what the laws state on this matter, and I don't rule out a serious debate in our parliament. Of course, discussion and agreement within the government are also necessary - Prime Minister Donald Tusk told journalists in Brussels.

- The matter is very serious; some consider it an alternative to the UN, so it's some kind of international, geopolitical revolution. However, we must approach it very seriously and analyze all the pros and cons - he continued.

- This billion dollars, a very serious problem for some, but it's not the first and most important problem to assess. We will see, calmly, coolly, not on our knees, without any anti-American emotions. We will assess it calmly and make a decision - he went on to say.

- Almost two weeks ago, they met and talked, and after a long break. I think it was a conversation that made them realize that in matters of security, if we are manipulated from abroad, that's where we will lose. There was a meeting where Kosiniak-Kamysz and the heads of the services were present, as well as the President and his associates. It was also positive in its outcomes, so these few days, where the situation and circumstances also prompted close cooperation, because it was necessary to formulate Poland's stance on the Peace Council's initiatives, everything is proceeding as it should, meaning the President and Prime Minister, constitutionally responsible for different matters, when they cooperate, it's only for the better - said Tomasz Siemoniak on Polsat News's “Gość Wydarzeń”.

"The Nordic-Baltic Group is united and solidary as always. Meeting before the Council of Seven Leaders - Poland is the host" - Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on X.

- Prime Minister Sikorski published a letter in which he suggested the replacement of Ambassador Klich, even indicating a specific name, I believe acceptable to the president. Your Ambassador, Mr. Najder, currently the Ambassador to NATO in Brussels, so Prime Minister Sikorski is open to everything. Here, Poland's interest is more important than the feelings of individuals. I think Bogdan Klich understands this entire situation perfectly - said Tomasz Siemoniak on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".

- The result of this meeting was that these applications are to be submitted, and of course, the president will make the final decision. Because he expected a broader justification, such a broader justification has been provided, and then he will decide - said Tomasz Siemoniak in “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.

- The situation is entirely different when it comes to engaging together with the United States. It's clear that this is about the Arctic, about deposits, about strategic control over this area. Therefore, a secure Greenland also means a secure Poland. - said Tomasz Siemoniak on "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events) on Polsat News.

- I am leaving Davos with the full conviction that Poland's position and all assumptions concerning security, economy, and economics have been clearly emphasized - wrote Karol Nawrocki on social media.

- First and foremost, the President is aware of what the constitution and Polish legal regulations stipulate. Therefore, signing any international commitment, and this concerned joining an international organization [the Peace Council], requires the consent of the Council of Ministers and ratification by the Sejm - said Rafał Leśkiewicz in an interview with Marek Tejchman on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events).

- Already this coming Sunday in Vilnius, during the celebrations of the 163rd anniversary of the January Uprising, three presidents will meet: President Nausėda, President Zelensky, and of course, Mr. President Karol Nawrocki. They will meet, among other things, at Holy Mass in the Vilnius Archcathedral - said Rafał Leśkiewicz on "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- This is a unifying element – this shared history of struggle, then against Tsarist Russia, and now the Ukrainians' struggle against the Russian Federation. It is a historical parallel, but it provides a good platform for talks - he stated.

- Then there will be a moment when Mr. President Karol Nawrocki will talk with President Zelensky - announced the President's spokesperson.

- President Karol Nawrocki submitted an opinion to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs [regarding Poland’s potential participation in the Peace Council]. We received a very brief opinion from the ministry, contained in three points – said Rafał Leśkiewicz in “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.

- Well, he [Marcin Przydacz] was not under its impression, because it was a very enigmatically formulated opinion, consisting of three short points, essentially on one page – he stated.

- But it actually confirmed what is obvious and what the president has known from the very beginning, that is, the factual state resulting from the provisions of the Polish constitution, Article 89 of the Polish constitution, which states that every international agreement requires ratification – he continued.

- Well, recently, even very often - said Rafał Leśkiewicz on "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events) on Polsat News, when asked how often the President and the Prime Minister currently speak to each other.

- Not to an exaggerated extent [like a few times a day]. First and foremost, the Prime Minister finally got through to the President. It worked out, he met with the President - he continued.

- In recent days, the President has indeed spoken with the Prime Minister regarding the Peace Council - he indicated.

- The President met with Deputy Prime Minister Radosław Sikorski in October. They discussed the appointment of ambassadors. Nobody knew about this meeting because it wasn't a meeting we wanted to talk about publicly. The gentlemen simply agreed on that – Rafał Leśkiewicz said on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".

- Certain arrangements were made during that meeting. Minister Sikorski did not adhere to them. He published some letter on the internet. He habitually attacks President Karol Nawrocki. However, this makes no impression on the President – he stated.

However, as he indicated: - But now, on Monday, a meeting will take place. Minister Sikorski sought this meeting. On the 26th [of January] at 2:00 PM, a meeting will be held at the Chancellery of the President. This is one of many meetings with ministers from Donald Tusk's government.

- Very soon, from March 10th to 12th, the King of Sweden Carl XVI Gustaf and his wife Queen Silvia will be guests in Poland. This will be an excellent opportunity to also discuss bilateral relations between Sweden and Poland - said Rafał Leśkiewicz on "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events) on Polsat News.

- Let me remind you that this trade exchange is at the level of 14 billion euros, and additionally, almost 700 Swedish companies operate in Poland. So there is plenty to discuss, both at the economic and security level - he stated.

- Yes, ministers will accompany [the King]. Furthermore, the preliminary program or announcement of this visit by the King of Sweden has already been published - he added.

- We know for sure that between March 10th and 12th, President Andrzej Duda will receive the King of Sweden. This will be the first visit of the King of Sweden to Poland since 2011 - he indicated.
