The head of the Polish president’s office, Krzysztof Schersky, said that Andrzej Duda will take part in the summit of the most important guests of the World Economic Forum in Davos tonight.

“This is a closed meeting in a circle of particularly important people or a solemn dinner, which in fact is the opening of the Economic Forum. Inaugurated heads of states – the Netherlands, Spain, Jordan, as well as presidents, prime ministers, will attend this meeting. President Andrzej Duda will represent Poland. This will be the first opportunity for informal talks, since, as you know, Davos is, first and foremost, curbside and personal communication,” said Schersky.

In the program of the President`s visit to Davos there are: participation in discussions about the significance and role of Central Europe, as well as on the development of European infrastructure. In addition, Andrzej Duda will participate in a closed discussion on the Middle East, a closed meeting with Google’s board chairman, and an honorary guest of the event, organized by one of the largest Polish banks, Pekao SA.
