President Andrzej Duda has travelled to Switzerland, where he will attend the World Economic Forum in Davos. “The topics of meetings and discussions will mainly include economic and investment issues, as well as security matters”, said the Office of the President.

A series of meetings between the President and leaders of the world economy and politics are planned during the visit. Andrzej Duda will hold talks with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, President of the Japan Bank for International Cooperation Nobumitsu Hayashi, EC Vice-President Vera Jourova, UN Secretary General António Guterres, as well as Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda and Latvian President Edgars Rinkēvičs.

Andrzej Duda will speak during panels at the Trimarium House on ‘The Imperatives and Challenges of European Connectivity in Global Turbulent Times’ and ‘Foreign Direct In-vestment in Central and Eastern Europe: Risks and Opportunities’.

“The issue of discussing the development of cooperation with the countries of the Trimarium Initiative is extremely important to us. We, as Poland, are the co-organiser of the Trimarium House, where a broad agenda of meetings on security and the development of cooperation, especially on infrastructure, is planned”, conveyed the President during the meeting with the media.

“We want to show the Trimarium as a very attractive region of Europe for investments, as a region attractive for development, as the part of Europe that is developing most dynamically today”, said Andrzej Duda.

The President stressed that besides economic and investment matters, the issue of security will be a very important topic. He pointed out that during the Forum, the topic of the ongoing war in Ukraine would also come up in the context of striving for a quick end to the conflict by recognising President Volodymyr Zelensky’s peace plan.

During the visit, President Andrzej Duda is also scheduled to participate in a discussion on ‘Defending Europe’s United Front’ and the opening of an exhibition at the House of Ukraine on Russian war crimes.
