A preparatory meeting regarding the G20 summit, which Poland will attend, was held in Washington. “It must be borne in mind that we would not be at these G20 meetings today if it were not for the direct invitation from President Trump, which arose during his conversation with President Nawrocki,” emphasized Marcin Przydacz, Head of the Bureau of International Policy.
Poland at the G20 Summit
At the beginning of September, during a visit to Washington, President Karol Nawrocki said that U.S. President Donald Trump had invited him to the G20 summit in Florida. This is the first step in Poland’s efforts to join the group. Today, the first preparatory meeting took place in Washington. Poland was represented by Marcin Przydacz, Head of the Bureau of International Policy.
“As we were informed, the summit will take place in Miami. Elements of the G20 program are also planned at Mar-a-Lago, the well-known residence of President Trump. In addition to the official events, Mar-a-Lago will also host G20 presidents. At the first session, Poland was received very positively. Poland has much to be proud of in terms of its economic situation. Over the past 30 years, we have made significant progress. Everyone noted that, apart from the People’s Republic of China, Poland has increased its GDP the most over the last three decades,”
he said.
He added that “regardless of who was in power, thanks to Polish diligence, work ethic, innovation, and courage, we have been able to build the Polish brand.”
“It must be understood that we would not be participating in these G20 meetings today if it were not for the direct invitation from President Trump, which emerged during his conversation with President Nawrocki. President Nawrocki sought this invitation, and I am pleased that we can make use of it for the benefit of all of Poland and Central and Eastern Europe. We represent not only Poland, but our entire region. This region has been underrepresented in the G20 group,”
he stressed.
Przydacz also indicated the topics discussed.
“We talked about energy cooperation, that is, how to build an economy based on cheap and non-emission energy sources. I pointed out that there are G20 countries that use energy issues as a tool of political influence. This was met with approval from countries subjected to this type of energy blackmail. We also discussed education and deregulation,”
he reported.
