“Poland considers Azerbaijan to be a very important partner with which our relations in many areas have taken on the form of a strategic partnership”, Polish President Lech Kaczyński, who is on a working visit to Baku, told Azerbaijani reporters.

“I very much look forward to the implementation of our joint projects, primarily in the energy sector, but also in area of economy and culture”, he said. Today, many Polish companies such as LOTOS, PKN Orlen, Polska Wytwórnia Papierów Wartościowych (State Securities Printing House) and others are interested in investing in Azerbaijan, Kaczyński said.

The Polish President also presented his views on regiona problems, particularly on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. “Poland has invariably been advocating a peaceful solution to the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. I have spoken out many times in favor of the principle of territorial integrity of states, both in the case of Azerbaijan and Georgia. Indeed, we believe that this conflict can only be resolved on this basis. I hope that the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group, which has been actively engaged for many years in bringing about a peaceful resolution of the conflict will ultimately produce tangible and positive effects”, said the Polish leader.
