Berlin, 12 December 2021: Inaugural visit to Poland.
In the early evening, the Federal Chancellor is greeted with military honours at the chancellery of the Polish Prime Minister in Warsaw.
Scholz inspects the guard of honour with Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
The three-party government under Scholz has addressed the relationship with our neighbours in its coalition agreement: “Germany and Poland are linked by a profound friendship,” it says.
It was a “friendly visit to a friendly nation”, said Scholz before his departure.
The Federal Chancellor assured the Polish government of support in the dispute over refugees at the border with Belarus. He said that what the Belarusian side was doing was “inhuman and we must join together in repudiating these actions.”
The abuse of human beings for political purposes was unacceptable, said Scholz. The Federal Government was in solidarity with Poland in this matter, he added.
The two leaders’ first meeting also served the purpose of further coordination for the European Council meeting on 16 December.
After the talks, the Federal Chancellor visits the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
