Poland: Military Alliances
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to strengthen the UK’s (a) military and (b) defence cooperation with Poland.
Answered by Al Carns
The United Kingdom greatly values Poland as a steadfast ally and a leader on NATO’s eastern flank. Our nations share a proud history of standing together in defence of freedom, and today we face new and complex challenges that demand the same unity of purpose. Our new Defence and Security Treaty, and supporting Bilateral Defence Plan, will set a clear strategic direction for the next 15 years and beyond. We will not only reinforce our shared commitment to collective security, but also deepen industrial cooperation, enhance interoperability, and drive innovation. Together, we will ensure that our forces can act together with speed and confidence to deter and defeat emerging threats, safeguard our people and uphold European security.
