Michał Olech

- I received information from Minister Sikorski that our ambassador in Washington, Ambassador Klich, received an invitation to the meeting inaugurating the works of the Peace Council, which will take place on February 19th in the USA. The invitation is for the Polish Prime Minister or the Polish President. It is open - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a government session.

- This is probably the moment to say quite unequivocally and clearly that under the current circumstances, regarding the principles, the statute of this council, and its direct objectives, mainly related to the reconstruction of Gaza, certain doubts of a constitutional nature, if I may say so, concerning the shape of this council, mean that in these circumstances, Poland will not join the works of the Peace Council - he continued.

- But we will continue to analyze and maintain very flexible and, of course, very open relations with the USA, which have been, are, and will remain our priority for obvious reasons. Therefore, if the circumstances change to enable participation in the council's works, we do not exclude any scenario - he emphasized.

- If the President, as a witness, decides to participate in the meeting in the USA on February 19th, he will, of course, receive a full dossier from the government on how to proceed. We have good experience in this matter regarding the conference in Davos - stressed the head of government.
