Our talks concerned mostly matters related to the NATO Summit in Washington, D.C. One of them was deterrence and defence, the main activities of NATO. The support for Ukraine, the help NATO countries are sending to Ukriane, was another issue we have discussed – said deputy prime minister Władysław Kosiniak – Kamysz after the closing of the NATO session.

- 25 years after Poland joined NATO, 75 years after NATO was created, I note with pride that once again there is allied aircraft on Polish soil and in the Polish air.

I would like to thank for the extraordinary support of Poland and Polish security. This anti-air and anti-missile system is an important matter. The security of NATO’s eastern flank is very important to us. We cannot do it alone. We are counting on our allies and Great Britain is a staunch ally of Poland. The minister declared that the anti-air and anti-missile Sky Sabre system will stay in Poland for longer. A decision has been reached to keep it in Poland until the end of the year – Deputy Prime Minister W. Kosiniak – Kamysz declared after the meeting with the Defence Secretary of Great Britain.

„On March 12th, 1999, in the city of Independence in the United States of America Secretary of State Madeleine Albright has formally received the document ratifying our access to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.

"Poland is one of the leaders of NATO countries. During my speech I emphasized spending on the armed forces, on national defense. We are the leader among NATO countries, we spend the most in relation to our GDP, more than 4%. More than 50% of the funds are spent on modernization of the military. This is extremely important for us, we show and set a good example. (…) This is vital in the context of the ongoing discussion, fulfilling the strategic goals" the head of the Ministry of Defense said after a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels.

We have signed a memorandum of understanding, to strengthen cooperation between our countries. This is a very important decision for us, as the previous agreement predates Poland's accession to NATO. (...) Our cooperation must be even stronger. And I can say with full responsibility that our alliance with Denmark has never been as strong as it is today. (...) We will align our activities in all domains that guarantee the security of our countries, but also guarantee the security of the countries of the free world, the countries of the European Union, the countries of NATO. We will do everything to make Poland, Denmark, Europe and the world safe - this is our most pressing task" - said Deputy Prime Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz after concluding talks with Denmark's defense minister.
