At the meeting with the US Trade Representative, Ambassador Katherine Tai, Piotr Nowak, the Minister of Development and Technology emphasized that by attacking Ukraine, Russia has broken the rules of international cooperation. This is the basis for excluding it from the organizations that guarantee international economic and financial stability. Today there is no place for Russia in the G20. Poland deserves a place in the G20, as the second fastest developing country in the world in the last 30 years.
On Monday, March 14, the Minister of Development and Technology, Piotr Nowak, began a three-day visit to the United States.
The aim of the talks with representatives of the American administration, international financial institutions and companies will be deepening Polish-American economic cooperation, further US investments in Poland, with particular emphasis on innovative industries, including space technology.
One of the most important topics of the scheduled meetings will be humanitarian aid and support for Ukraine in the crisis caused by the Russian attack.
During the talks, Minister Nowak will raise the issue of tightening and developing transatlantic cooperation and the tightening of economic sanctions against Russia. In this context, he will also talk about the involvement of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to help war refugees from Ukraine and support for European Union countries that provide aid to Ukraine.
The talks will also focus on the cooperation between the US and the European Union in the development of new technologies, access to raw materials, and the involvement of the World Bank in the energy and digital transformation.
