The Polish Prime Minister and the South Korean president have met in Warsaw this week to discuss their bilateral „strategic partnership”.
The two leaders discussed „bilateral relations, economic, military and energy cooperation, and international issues,” according to officials. Afterwards, the Polish prime minister wrote on Facebook: “The partnership between Poland and South Korea is of a strategic nature. Today I met with South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeo in order to further strengthen our ties and friendship.” The Polish prime minister said: “We’ve worked together on economic issues for a long time, and South Korean firms are investing huge resources in our country, especially in the IT sector and the high-tech industries.” Morawiecki added that “this has now been extended to include investment in the construction of Poland’s planned mega-airport CPK and in nuclear energy.”

Polish senators have adopted a resolution honouring the victims of massacres carried out by Ukrainian and German armed forces during the II World War.
The resolution said: “80 years ago, on July 11th, 1943, in a series of coordinated assaults by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), around 100 Polish settlements in the Volhynia region were destroyed. It was the most tragic moment and the climax of the UPA’s genocidal actions, which claimed the lives of at least 100,000 Poles, according to historical studies.” It added that, around the same time, “massacres of Polish villages by German forces” in occupied Poland „reached their height.”
