President Andrzej Duda and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg discuss summit

Polish President Andrzej Duda on Thursday held a telephone conversation with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on the state of preparations for the upcoming NATO summit in Warsaw, presidential aide Krzysztof Szczerski has told PAP.

The two officials shared a positive assessment of how advanced the organisation of the summit is, according to Krzysztof Szczerski.

The presidential minister added that the call, initiated by Stoltenberg, lasted about 45 minutes. "It was an element of the final consultations before the NATO secretary general's arrival in Poland", minister Szczerski explained.

The NATO summit in Warsaw on July 8-9 is to focus on NATO's response to threats from the East and South, including decisions to increase the alliance's military presence on its eastern fringes, and further enlargement of NATO.
