Poland prepares for G20 summit amid diplomatic tensions
Polish officials are preparing for the upcoming G20 summit in Florida, USA, scheduled for December. President Karol Nawrocki has received an invitation from U.S. President Donald Trump to attend. While Poland is actively participating in G20 ministerial and governmental working groups, the government maintains that its presence should be permanent, noting that Poland is among the world's 20 largest economies.
The summit has been marked by diplomatic tension. During a meeting in the United States, Polish Finance Minister Andrzej Domański engaged in a sharp exchange with Russian Minister of Economic Development Maksim Rieshetnikov. Rieshetnikov accused the European Union of hypocrisy and characterized actions against the Russian merchant fleet as piracy, while also alleging Ukrainian aggression in the Black Sea. Domański responded by asserting that Russia is the aggressor and that its actions threaten global food security by impacting Ukrainian agricultural exports.
Regarding the invitation of Vladimir Putin to the summit, Polish leadership, including Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, has indicated that Poland does not plan to boycott the event. The consensus among Polish government and presidential offices is to utilize the opportunity for participation rather than opting for a boycott.
