The King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is on an unofficial visit to Poland.

The meeting of the Polish president and the Jordanian king in Gdansk (northern Poland) confirmed good bilateral relations, the President's Office reported. Earlier the two heads of state met during last year's UN summit in New York.

The President's Office wrote in a statement that Jordan was closely cooperating with the EU and was among NATO's most significant partners.

Earlier in the day, King Abdullah II laid a wreath at the Monument of the Coast Defenders at Westerplatte. The Battle of Westerplatte marked the beginning of World War Two which broke out on Sept. 1, 1939 when Schleswig-Holstein battleship suddenly opened fire on the Polish garrison at Westerplatte.
