Deputy Ministers Mościcka-Dendys and Luis M. Cuesta Civís exchanged views on the models of cooperation with diasporas adopted by Poland and Spain, including the aspects of teaching languages abroad and mobilising the national groups. Deputy Minister Mościcka-Dendys presented the Polish government’s work on its new strategy for cooperation with the Polish community and Poles abroad, which is meant to reflect the natural changes in the Polish diaspora.

With respect to both countries’ ongoing digitalisation of their consular services, the deputy foreign ministers discussed the most important challenges in this area and exchanged good practices, including in the planned technological solutions and digitalisation of consular services. In the light of the growing migratory pressure affecting the two countries, the diplomats agreed that it is necessary to enhance cooperation with the migrants’ countries of origin, especially in the fields of police cooperation and increasing their capabilities to combat human trafficking.
