Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the activities of the Security and Defense Council established by the President of the Republic of Poland within the National Development Council. The publication presents the reasons that guided the President of the Republic of Poland in appointing this advisory body, and discusses individual meetings of the Security and Defense Council in 2021-2024, a time associated with the situation on the Polish-Belarusian border and Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. The research hypothesis was verified, according to which the council should be considered, as an active consultative and advisory body of the president on the issue of broadly understood state security. During the period analyzed in the article, the council held 24 meetings, during which it addressed numerous topics related to state security and prepared recommendations for the president, for example, in connection with the ninth summit of the Three Seas Initiative, which was held in Vilnius on April 11, 2024.
