Minister of Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorski met in Warsaw with the Speaker of the Swedish Riksdag Andreas Norlén. The interlocutors emphasized that the excellent cooperation between Poland and Sweden for years has recently been intensified due to threats in the immediate vicinity and as a result of Sweden’s accession to NATO. Warsaw and Stockholm – the initiators of the Eastern Partnership – want to deepen cooperation for Ukraine and towards the Eastern partners. It was emphasized that Russia as an aggressor must face the consequences of its criminal actions, and international law must be observed. The outcome of the war will influence the shape of the world order for many years to come, and especially security in the Baltic Sea region. The head of Polish diplomacy emphasized the excellent contacts with the Swedish partners, both in bilateral and multilateral formats. Minister Sikorski indicated that Poland is interested in regional cooperation with the Nordic and Baltic countries, also in Baltic formats, such as the Council of the Baltic Sea States. This cooperation enables better coordination of Polish policy towards key challenges faced by our region, such as hybrid threats, disinformation or the shadow fleet in the Baltic Sea. The talks also covered the priorities of the Polish presidency of the EU Council, with particular emphasis on the security aspect. The interlocutors agreed on the need for cooperation between Poland and Sweden in counteracting the use of illegal migration by the Belarusian and Russian sides to attempt to destabilize the political situation in the European Union. The Speaker of the Swedish Parliament, Andreas Norlén, is in Poland on a two-day official visit.
