The Czech Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg paid a visit to Poland on 2 August 2010. Minister Schwarzenberg met Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski for talks on a number of bilateral issues, including the prospects for further development of the Polish-Czech relations. The Ministers also discussed issues addressed under the Polish-Czech Forum, a year after its inception.
Other issues included regional policy, energy security, and selected multilateral questions, such as the current EU and NATO agendas, economic and financial crisis and Eastern policy.
At the close of the meeting, there was a prize-giving ceremony during which Minister Sikorski awarded Foreign Minister Schwarzenberg with the Bene Merito distinction, an honorary award conferred upon those whose activities contribute to promoting Poland’s image abroad.
