Her agenda includes meetings with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Cabinet ministers, as well as discussions with lower-house Speaker Szymon Hołownia and parliamentary political groups.

Metsola, re-elected as European Parliament president in July, previously visited the Polish capital in August, when she and Tusk discussed support for Ukraine and the EU legislature's priorities.

During a two-day visit to Warsaw in February, she praised Poland's leadership within the EU, calling the country "the beating heart of European values" in an address to Polish senators.

Polish government officials have said that the country's six-month rotating EU presidency in the first half of 2025 will focus on priorities such as Ukraine's EU accession.
