Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten traveled to Poland after his visit to Ukraine and held talks with Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

Emphasizing Poland's role in Europe's defense, Jetten said: "Following my visit to Ukraine over the weekend, I was warmly welcomed today by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. When it comes to Europe's support for Ukraine, Poland is a key ally and this support must be unwavering. For years, Poland has set an example in building a strong and secure Europe capable of defending itself."

Referring to partnership in the defense industry and economic foundations, Jetten said: "Poland signed an agreement in July to increase our defense cooperation. This creates new opportunities for companies in our countries to increase defense production. There can be no strong European defense without a solid economic foundation. We must strengthen this foundation quickly."

Jetten stated that both countries are determined to remove economic barriers within the European Union, saying: "Both the Netherlands and Poland want to remove unnecessary barriers in the single market, reduce bureaucracy and open up to new markets. The Netherlands aims to be a positive and driving force in Europe for our security, freedom and prosperity."
