UK-Poland bilateral summit: PM ‘determined’ to keep relationship following Brexit

The Prime Minister will welcome the Polish Prime Minister to London today for a summit designed to strengthen the relationship between the UK and Poland as Britain prepares to leave the EU.

The UK-Poland bilateral summit will bring together both Prime Ministers along with a number of their senior Cabinet ministers, including the Chancellor and the Foreign and Defence Secretaries, for the first meeting of it’s kind.

Over a working lunch at Downing Street, Prime Minister Theresa May and Prime Minister Beata Szydło will hold bilateral talks focused on Brexit and defence co-operation, while the other ministers meet at Lancaster House.

They will then all come together for plenary talks in the Cabinet room where they are expected to agree to deepen our cooperation on a range of areas, from foreign policy to defence and security, trade and investment to science and innovation, as well as talk about international issues such as Russia’s actions in Ukraine and Syria.

Theresa May said: “I am determined that Brexit will not weaken our relationship with Poland, rather it will serve as a catalyst to strengthen it.

“That’s why I am hosting the first ever summit of this kind between our countries today. It marks the start of a new chapter in our relations and we will work even more closely together to ensure the security and prosperity of our nations in the years ahead.

“We share a clear commitment to take our cooperation to the next level and to firmly establish the UK and Poland as resolute and strategic allies in Europe.
