Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said the arrangement would ensure that troops from all four Visegrad Group states take part whenever one member hosts an exercise. The ministers also discussed migration, asylum policy and preparations for the eventual end of Russia's war against Ukraine. Warsaw's Defense Ministry said their agenda covered defense cooperation and regional priorities before the July 7–8 summit. The Visegrad Group — originally founded in 1991 by Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, and restructured into its current four-member format in 1993 following Czechoslovakia's dissolution into the Czech Republic and Slovakia — has been divided over Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, particularly Hungary's approach to Moscow. The informal forum was established in 1991. Kosiniak-Kamysz said the group should become one of the EU’s most durable regional partnerships.
