Poland, France to sign friendship treaty with security guarantees

Poland and France are set to sign a new friendship treaty in Nancy city on May 9, which will include provisions for mutual security guarantees in the event of an attack by third countries.

The agreement is seen as a significant step in strengthening bilateral ties and enhancing security cooperation between the two nations, Caliber.Az reports via Russian media.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed the details of the treaty before departing for France. He emphasised that the most crucial aspect of the treaty for Poland was the inclusion of mutual security guarantees.

“I won’t hide the fact that the most important issue for me was the mutual security guarantees,” Tusk stated.

“This clause, which ensures mutual support in the event of an attack on either of our countries, is the key aspect of this agreement from the perspective of Polish interests,” he said. 

Tusk also pointed out that, prior to this agreement, France had only extended such bilateral security guarantees to Germany, highlighting the significance of the new arrangement for Poland.
