While outlining the priorities, Jacek Czaputowicz told reporters on Monday that Poland was set to return to UN peacekeeping missions after a break of more than 10 years.

“This autumn Polish soldiers will take part in operations in Lebanon, as part of Ireland's expanded contingent,” Czaputowicz said.
