The Polish defence ministry said in a tweet that Błaszczak and Tîlvăr talked about "regional security in the face of the war in Ukraine" when they met in Warsaw on Wednesday.
The announcement noted that Poland and Romania work together as part of the Bucharest Nine (B9) group of NATO allies, whose activity focuses on threats to the alliance's eastern flank.
The Bucharest Nine is a Polish-Romanian initiative launched in 2015 that aims to help exchange views and coordinate positions on the security of NATO’s eastern-flank countries.
It brings together Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Estonia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, and Slovakia.
In February, US President Joe Biden told a summit of B9 leaders in Warsaw that Article 5 of the alliance's collective defence treaty "is a sacred commitment” and that America "will defend literally every inch of NATO."
Biden was speaking in the Polish capital ahead of the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of neighbouring Ukraine.
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, launching the largest military campaign in Europe since World War II.
Wednesday is day 588 of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
