Government Information on Polish Foreign Policy in 2017 (presented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland Witold Waszczykowski at a sitting of the Sejm on 9 February 2017)

Summary/Abstract: Mr. President! Mr. Marshal! Dear Prime Minister, Colleagues Ministers! Members of the House! Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, Ambassadors! Dear Sir or Madam! When a year ago, for the first time as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, I presented the Government’s information on the tasks of Polish foreign policy, I did not lack my fears and pessimistic assessments of the international environment. At the time, I was talking about three crises that Poland has to face: a security crisis, a neighborhood crisis and a crisis of the European project. It was an accurate diagnosis. These three issues found themselves at the center of international politics in Europe in 2016, creating an extremely complex and unprofitable situation for Polish interests. In these difficult conditions, however, Polish diplomacy passed the exam perfectly. We have fully completed the tasks set for the government a year ago.
