Kaczynski: Good Polish-German Relations Important for Europe

Published: 9 March 2006 y., Thursday

Polish President Lech Kaczynski said on Wednesday that good relations with Germany were "important for all of Europe" after he met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on his first visit to Berlin.

Kaczynski's trip is seen as important to mending ties between the neighbors after he exploited anti-German sentiment dating back to World War II in his election campaign last year.   

"Good relations between Poland and Germany are important for all of Europe," Kaczynski told reporters after their meeting, adding that he was "deeply convinced" that Berlin and Warsaw needed close ties. 

Merkel told reporters the two leaders would discuss international relations and the future of the European Union during a working lunch.
