Brussels, 25 October 2023
It is a pleasure for me to welcome you, Donald Tusk, here today in the Berlaymont. The record turnout in the elections that took place in Poland on 15 October has shown once again that Poles are strongly attached to democracy.
Donald Tusk and me, we will be discussing important issues today, in which the voice of Poland is crucial. The war at the borders of our Union and the continued support for Ukraine will be one of them. Poles are proud Europeans. They have already shown enormous solidarity and took responsibility in many dimensions. We will also talk about the future of our European security architecture.
And our discussions will certainly be about modernising our economy as well as its future competitiveness. We want our European companies to keep their leading position in clean tech and in other modern sectors of the economy. We want growth and new jobs to be created here in Europe. We want to deliver in the best possible way for our citizens.
We will talk about democracy in Europe and all those values that are at the heart of the European Union. And finally, we will discuss the progress on NextGenerationEU in Europe.
I know that Donald Tusk and I will find a lot of common ground on all these issues.
