In a statement regarding his country's foreign policy course, Polish President Navrotski declared that there are no permanent alliances in international relations and that no support is provided unconditionally. He stressed that this is a natural part of diplomatic practice and noted that protecting Poland's interests is the primary priority.
The editorial reports that Navrotski stated that lessons learned from history compel Poland to be firm and pragmatic in its foreign relations. According to him, an emotional approach in foreign policy is always a bad advisor, and state interests must be protected on a rational basis.
The Polish President also clarified his position regarding the leadership of Russia and Belarus. Calling Vladimir Putin a criminal, he said he has no eagerness to sit at the table with him or representatives of the Aleksandr Lukashenko regime. However, Navrotski emphasized that if Poland's state interests demand it, he would be ready for such a meeting as President.
Navrotski also touched upon the situation at the United Nations, recalling that Russia is represented in the decision-making bodies of this organization. He asked: "Does this mean we should leave the United Nations?" These remarks by the President are assessed as an indication of the necessity for Poland to continue its participation in international platforms.
