On Tuesday, Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that a new Polish-French treaty is anticipated to be signed in Nancy on 9 May. He said this agreement is a significant advancement in enhancing collective economic and military security.
During the Council of Ministers meeting, Tusk highlighted the importance of strengthening cooperation with both the United States and Europe for the security of Poland. He expressed his satisfaction regarding the progress being made toward the finalisation of the treaty, stating, “We will most likely sign this treaty together with President Emmanuel Macron on 9 May in Nancy. While I do not wish to speculate, I can confirm that preparations are well underway.”
In a recent interview with the weekly publication “Paris Match,” French President Macron also referred to the upcoming signing of the treaty, calling it “historic.” He commented on the significance of the event, which will take place in Nancy. This city holds historical importance in Polish-French relations, as it was the residence of King StanisÅ‚aw LeszczyÅ„ski following his exile in 1736. This new treaty will replace the agreement established in 1991, which has become outdated after Poland acceded to the European Union.
