The visit was aimed at informing the Icelandic partner about bilateral and multilateral diplomatic activities related to the compensation for victims of German aggression and occupation payable to members of their families, as well as at requesting support for the Polish proposals in the context of Iceland holding the presidency of the Council of Europe.

On 16-17 May, Iceland will host the Council of Europe summit. Bringing a broader problem of an aggressor state’s liability for human, material and cultural losses to the attention of the international community is of topical interest in the context of the ongoing war on the European continent.

Other items on the meeting agenda included current bilateral issues, for example the prospects of a bilateral cooperation in terms of hydrogen and geothermal energy, as well as eastern policy and security.
