On Tuesday in Paris, Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, the Speaker of the Polish Senate (the upper house of the Polish Parliament), stated after talks with French Senate President Gérard Larcher that a joint parliamentary meeting of the Weimar Triangle countries - Poland, France, and Germany - will be held with the participation of Ukraine.

The meeting is expected to take place within the next few months during Poland's presidency of the Council of the European Union, which lasts until June 2025.

The Polish-French cooperation discussions also covered the upcoming bilateral treaty, which is set to be signed soon, as well as efforts to support the Polish diaspora, including increasing funding for Polish community initiatives.

Kidawa-Błońska described her discussions with Larcher as "another important step in strengthening parliamentary cooperation," emphasizing that Europe's security—including defense, economy, climate, and energy—are critical to the region's sovereignty and stability.

The talks also focused on Belarus, Ukraine, and Moldova, which are hoping to join the European Union in the future.
