Speaking at a joint news conference with Polish Foreign Minister Jacek Czaputowicz at the United Nations headquarters in New York on Tuesday, Pompeo thanked Poland for working with the United States to deal with international problems, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.

The two top diplomats met in New York on the sidelines of a UN Security Council debate chaired by Poland's Czaputowicz to discuss challenges to peace and security in the Middle East.

Pompeo in a tweet thanked Poland for helping America “confront an array of challenges facing the Middle East.”

Poland and the United States in February held an international conference in Warsaw that aimed "to promote a future of peace and security in the Middle East."

Poland's Czaputowicz told reporters in New York on Tuesday that his talks with Pompeo and visits at various levels testified to "particularly good relations between our two countries."

A delegation of US administration officials was expected to visit Poland this week to discuss the details of President Donald Trump's upcoming visit to the country.

Pompeo announced that he would accompany Trump to Poland later this month, the IAR news agency reported.
