- I'm sorry. For almost 10 years I have held the honorary office of the president of the Republic of Poland with all seriousness treated the constitution, which says that the implementation of abroad policy by all those who participate in it must consist of cooperation. It is besides the ability to emergence above organization issues, disputes and interior politics. It is simply a pity that at the end of the minister's speech it was a organization slogan and a pity that so many times we had to deal with political, organization trips," said Andrzej Duda.

Andrzej Duda assessed that he said that the successes of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the EU "has surely not moved to the presence and making truly crucial decisions in Poland on global and European matters, due to the fact that crucial meetings are held in Paris, Brussels and another places".
- Prime Minister Donald Tusk goes to these meetings, but does not organize specified meetings in Poland - he added. "I do not know whether this is due to his reluctance to cooperate with the president of Poland in this respect, or to his inability and inability to effectively invitation global leaders to Poland," he noted.
"There was practically nothing about cooperation with the US"
The president besides stressed that "there is no safety present without close cooperation with the US". "There will be no European safety and, unfortunately, there will be no anticipation of effectively blocking Russian imperialism without absolutely close Euro-Atlantic cooperation, without absolutely close European-American cooperation, and from my point of view, as president, above all the constantly strengthened and strengthened Polish-American cooperation," he said.
He assessed that in this connection "there is 1 painful issue that I profoundly regret not sounding in the speech of the abroad Minister". "There seems to be no uncertainty to anyone that the United States is the most powerful military power in the planet and for no 1 there is no uncertainty that present there is no safety against the atomic state, Russia, which has revived its imperial ambitions, without close cooperation with the United States," said Andrzej Duda.

- I'm sorry. Unfortunately, there was virtually nothing about this cooperation with the United States in the minister's exposé," he added.
As he recalled, in the coming days in Poland will be American energy secretary Chris Wright. "I am glad that (...) it will besides meet with Prime Minister Donald Tuski, due to the fact that these are very crucial issues for Poland - cooperation with the US and the implementation of this most crucial task in the field of energy, which we have and which I believe will be successfully implemented in cooperation with the United States, namely the construction of a atomic power plant for Poland", said the President.
"I want the head of the MFA had mentioned crucial investments"
Andrzej Duda besides stated that he regretted that the head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs did not mention crucial investments for Poland's global position, as the Central Communication Port and "very gently" mentioned the issue of Poland's entry into the G20.

He mentioned crucial investments as well, specified as atomic power plant and Central Communication Port. - I know the airport is in Berlin - the president was ironic. But - he added - he is convinced that most Poles agree with him, that the "powerful global airport" from which you can fly to all corners of the planet should be in Poland.
He pointed out that it was besides about safety and recalled talks with American generals, among others, about the request for a large airport to be able to decision allies here. He stressed that from this point of view the Central Communication Port is essential and Poland is already a country that can carry out specified investments.
- I'm sorry. I very much regret that the Minister of abroad Affairs about these crucial investments, which are fundamental to building our global position, did not mention - said the President.
Sikorski corresponds to Duda. "I'm glad we agree here."
Sikorski referred to the President's words at a briefing in the Sejm. He noted that Andrzej Duda criticised his speech in respective points, among others, for the deficiency of memory of the Trimorz Initiative.
- I'm sorry. I did not mention it due to the fact that it is simply a presidential initiative, the president sent invitations without consulting the government and the government does not know what the agenda is and what the intent of this gathering is," said the head of the MFA. He pointed out that the president was pleased that the US Energy Secretary would be coming to the summit of the Trimorze. - But he invited the president of the United States, so it's not precisely a success," he said.

He estimated that the president was incorrect to say that the Trimorese had something to do with the Baltic tube or the gasport investment. The head of the MFA said that the gas-port was built during Donald Tusk's erstwhile rule. "From the first shovel to the last hen, it was done by the PO-PSL government and the fact that the next government named it after Lech Kaczyński does not mean that he built it," he said.
MFA chief said he thanks "the outgoing president for his 'expose'". "Just to remind you that according to the Constitution, the Council of Ministers conducts abroad policy, while the president of Poland and this policy should represent. I don't think the president has read the Constitutional Court's ruling on cooperation, due to the fact that he has ruled that the president does not play a function in European politics and it is the president who cooperates with the Council of Ministers, not the another way around. In fact, the constitution itself says that the president cooperates with the Prime Minister and the Minister - said Sikorski.
As he noted, the president confirmed that Poland should prosecute membership of the G20. "I am glad that we agree here," he stressed.
"The president did not perceive carefully to the speech"
Sikorski besides referred to the President's allegations that during his speech in the Sejm, "there was practically nothing" about cooperation with the US.
The head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs assessed that the president did not perceive carefully to the speech, as he pointed out, there were respective references to close transatlantic cooperation and with the United States.

Sikorski besides commented on Duda's relation with Trump in this context. As he said, he himself repeatedly called on the president of Poland to "use his expected relationship with Donald Trump to influence his position."
- I'm sorry. I asked him specifically to influence Donald Trump's willingness to set terms and force Putin on the Russian-Ukrainian War, not on Ukraine. Evidence of the success of this persuasion by the president has not yet been seen," he said.
The head of the MFA besides spoke on the slogan "all Poland forward" to which he concluded his speech. "I think that 'all Poland forward' is simply a very good motivation for all of us to strengthen Poland's position on the global stage," he said.
