Polish PM to discuss security, energy crisis with France's Macron

WARSAW (Reuters) - Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Thursday he would visit Paris on Monday to discuss the situation in Ukraine, defence cooperation and energy issues with French President Emmanuel Macron.

"First of all, we will talk about security issues, because France is an important partner ... Strengthening (NATO's) eastern flank will also certainly be a subject of our discussion," Morawiecki said, pointing to issues such as military cooperation and cooperation between defence industries.

"In addition to security we will also talk about energy. We can see that Russia has caused a huge wave of inflation all over the world ... we will talk with the President of France how to alleviate inflationary pressure, especially on the energy market," he added.
