Warsaw
France on Wednesday called Poland a “key player” in Europe, signalling warming ties between the two countries that had been chilled by diverging political views and Warsaw’s cancellation of a major military contract.
“Poland can play a key role in the future of Europe, and France is aware of that,” France’s Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said in the Dziennik Gazeta Prawna daily, adding that “not only spring but summer” prevailed between Paris and Warsaw.
“Poland is already one of the key players on the European scene,” he said, pointing to “huge potential” for cooperation while insisting that old differences should be left behind. Ties between the two countries began to sour after the right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party took office in Poland in 2015.
It soon called off a multi-billion euro deal with France’s Airbus to buy 50 of its Caracal helicopters, triggering fury in Paris.
