Bilateral issues as well as the most pressing problems of the EU, including the community's future and energy security, were the main subjects of talks between Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas in Warsaw on Friday.
Heiko Maas had earlier met with Polish President Andrzej Duda and was scheduled to later meet with his foreign affairs counterpart, Jacek Czaputowicz.
"Friday's visit by the head of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, shows that we are connected to the Germans by the relations of good partnership and also that Poland occupies a strong and important position in the process of building and reforming the European Union," government spokesperson Joanna Kopcinska said after the meeting with Morawiecki. She went on to state that, apart from bilateral issues, the politicians' talks touched upon the EU's most pressing problems - "including the future of the European Union, energy security and the migration crisis."
"The meeting took place in a good atmosphere and lasted longer than initially anticipated. The head of the German MFA thanked Prime Minister Morawiecki for his readiness to meet and for engaging in building a partnership with Germany," Kopcinska continued, adding that the two politicians had agreed there should soon be an international consultation and that there is much to "dynamise co-operation in the Weimar Triangle."
The German Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on its Twitter account that during the meeting the politicians had discussed the future of Europe and Polish-German co-operation as well as their common partnership with France and transatlantic relations. Poland is Heiko Maas's second destination for a foreign visit. He visited France on Wednesday after being sworn in to office. (PAP)
