 Thank you. Don't know what a what a real pleasure it is to be here with you in Poland You know when we met many many years ago, you were president of the European Council I am very happy to see you as Prime Minister of Poland right now. It is It is a tremendous pleasure to be able to work alongside you Again, we over the years we've worked on many many different issues together around the G7 table on issues of environmental responsibility, economic growth, trade and also standing up for progressive values and fighting for democracy and to see you here Doing this now is is a very very good thing and I'm really really happy on a personal level to see you but also very glad as a Canadian Prime Minister to be here in Poland today. I had an excellent meeting this morning with President Duda and the conversations we just had really emphasizes the extent to which Canada and Poland are aligned on the big issues of the day Of course, you are a neighbour to Ukraine and a friend of Ukraine and a deeply committed supporter of their resistance to Prutin's Putin's brutal and unprovoked Inflation of Ukraine. I Want to take a moment to specifically thank you for welcoming members of the Canadian Armed Forces stationed here as part of Operation Unifier, which has trained around 40,000 Ukrainian soldiers so far Deputy Prime Minister Freeland and Minister of National Defense Bill Blair actually visited the troops here yesterday and witnessed some of their good work Here we stand together on the frontline of freedom The Polish forces have also brought their support to Canada by contributing to the tactical group of NATO that Canada leads in Lithuania. Canada takes security in this region very seriously On Saturday, I was in Ukraine to mark two years since Putin's brutal invasion of this sovereign territory I was joined by three fellow world leaders the current chair of the G7 The current chair of the European Union and the current president of the European Commission We were there all four of us to demonstrate our collective resolve To be there for Ukraine and to support Ukrainians in their defense of their freedom their language their culture their territory and for the values of democracy and rules-based order that we all share Prime Minister, I know that Poland is very much a part of these shared values It's why you are such a steadfast supporter of Ukraine and a strong partner in NATO The leaders of the G7 are gathered on Saturday evening I participated at the meeting from Kiev with the President of the European Commission and the Prime Minister of Italy We heard directly from President Zelenskiy that we reaffirmed our indefinite support to Ukraine which is fighting without a release for its freedom and its democratic future Prime Minister, Donald, as I said, I know that you understand that the fight of Ukraine is our fight to all We talked about it during our meeting this morning Together, we can clearly distinguish the good from the bad and recognize how important the fight of Ukraine is We know that standing up for our values and our principles as democracies is not just the right thing to do but it's also this smart thing to do because it is the only path to ensure peace, stability and prosperity for all our citizens We need the Polish people to continue to stand strong against Putin's games and disruptions We also talked about what we can do to grow the strong trade relationship between Poland and Canada which helps create jobs in both of our countries This includes opportunities to collaborate on clean energy This is important to us because we know many European economies like Poland are moving quickly to unwind their dependence on Russian fossil fuels Canada is ready to be the supplier of clean energy including, as Donald mentioned with our strong nuclear expertise that a net zero economy will need to bolster energy security in an uncertain world Donald, like Canada, you see the opportunity that lies ahead in building a progressive, inclusive economy I saw that as part of your new government you've established a minister of gender equality which I know has given hope to many in the country When governments set themselves up with a goal of creating an economy that works for everyone when everyone sees opportunities for themselves in the future when everyone sees ways to contribute and benefit That's how you create resilient, strong, prosperous democracies The total of the trade between Canada and Poland is about $4 billion a year but I know we can do even more You are our biggest trade partner in the region and today we've had the opportunity to discuss ways to make our relationship even more growing Canada has extremely strong friendships and relationships in Central and Eastern Europe Together, we're working to reinforce our democracies by building economies that are inclusive and we're bringing economic and political support to those who defend their democracy and fight for their future Poland and Canada are great friends and strategic allies with close ties not just between us as leaders but between us as peoples As a perfect example, last night I had dinner with some friends in an excellent little restaurant that I highly recommend called Radio Café It has a deep history of fighting for democracy of being part of the resistance against totalitarianism and communism but it was also an emblem of the connection between Canada and Poland when I found out that the owner of Radio Café had also opened a restaurant in Montreal in my hometown We are interconnected in our values, in our fights for a better future and in our love of good things and good lives with those restaurants Donald, thank you for meeting today and I look forward to all that we're going to do together to deepen the friendship and the cooperation between Canada and Poland but also to stand strong in creating a better world for everyone Thank you very much, my friend
