Minister of Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorski is poised to unveil Poland’s fresh and new approach to international relations during a government assembly, followed by a debate at the Sejm, the lower house of the Parliament, on Thursday morning.
According to the Polish Press Agency, Sikorski’s address in the Sejm is anticipated to extend beyond an hour, with a total of nine hours allocated for ensuing debate.
During the exposé, expected to last roughly eighty minutes, Sikorski aims to dispel “six myths of PiS foreign policy,” highlight achievements, and signal a new direction. Among the key themes will be Poland’s security in the context of Russian aggression against Ukraine, as well as addressing internal tensions.
Reports indicate that the focus will be on rejuvenating Poland’s standing within EU institutions, particularly after eight years of Law and Justice party governance. Emphasis will be placed on maintaining robust ties with the U.S. while not without sacrificing EU relations. Other agenda items include continued support for Ukraine, combating Russian disinformation, and outlining Poland’s stance on China.

Marcin Zaborowski, the policy director at the Future of Security Program member of Globsec think tank shed some light on the possible changes in Polish foreign policy in an interview for TVP World.
He highlighted that, most likely, new philosophy of Polish foreign policy will be resting on “two pillars” one “very strong” transatlantic and the other based in Europe.
Also regional policy will be included in exposé. “Poland is an important power in Central Europe, is the biggest nation in Central Eastern Europe, and is a considerable power in the northeast of the continent,” emphasized Zaborowski.
