Mateusz Morawiecki took part in the Polish-British intergovernmental consultations in London. The PM outlined his goals for the meetings on Twitter:
“The situation of Poles in Great Britain is a key aspect of my talks with PM Theresa May. Our goal is to maintain free trade, which is so important to Polish companies. I believe that the British parliament will make the right decision, which will be beneficial for all sides involved.”
Sytuacja Polaków w Wielkiej Brytanii to kluczowy aspekt rozmów z premier Theresą May. Naszym celem jest też utrzymanie swobody wymiany handlowej, tak istotnej dla polskich firm. Wierzę, że brytyjski parlament podejmie taką decyzję, która będzie korzystna dla wszystkich stron.

The Daily Telegraph interview
The day prior to his meeting with the British PM, Morawiecki applauded May for her struggle concerning Brexit negotiations in an interview for “The Daily Telegraph”. “This isn’t the darkest hour (…) although the situation might seem dangerous and uncertain. I believe that PM May will weather this storm. She fought bravely in Brexit negotiations and that in itself is worthy of respect,” concluded Morawiecki.
