Earlier on Tuesday, our head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs presented a symbolic gift to the US Secretary of State – the first 1989 "High Noon" electoral poster, signed by erstwhile president Lech Walesa.
The poster, which refers to the celebrated western with Gary Cooper, was 1 of the most recognizable symbols of the Solidarity electoral run before partially free elections on June 4, 1989. It became an icon of peaceful opposition to the communist strategy and a symbol of the revival of democracy in Central and east Europe.
– It was besides an chance to discuss the current agenda of very good Polish-American relations. Of course, there was a question of reviewing American forces in Europe. Here I am convinced that he will support us in this next day in the White home president Karol Nawrocki – this gathering was summed up by Radosław Sikorski.
– Since Poland joined the club of trillion economies, I sought that the United States, which is the G20 group's president next year, would invitation us to this group," added the head of the Polish Ministry of abroad Affairs.
