Washington, Nov 10 (KUNA) – U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth held talks today with his Polish counterpart, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, on ways to strengthen defense and military cooperation between the two countries within the framework of the strategic partnership between Washington and Warsaw and NATO.
In a statement, Pentagon Press Secretary Sean Barnhill said the discussions, held at the Pentagon, focused on Poland’s leading role within NATO as European countries assume greater responsibility for their conventional defense. He added that Kamysz outlined his country’s efforts to increase defense spending and enhance cooperation in the military-industrial sector, noting Poland’s hosting of a new maintenance facility for Patriot PAC-3 air defense missiles, alongside the expansion of production lines.
The statement clarified that both sides signed a statement of intent to enhance cooperation in defense industries, contributing to the continued development of the military partnership between the two nations.
Last month, the United States announced the selection of Poland to host a facility in Europe for the maintenance of advanced Patriot PAC-3 missiles, a project based on strong transatlantic industrial cooperation with vital supply chain integration led by Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden.
