Morawiecki made the policy speech on Monday morning, Polish state news agency PAP reported.
The prime minister thanked "more than 7 million voters" who cast their ballots for his conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party in a parliamentary election on October 15.
He said he had agreed to form a new government "out of a sense of responsibility" to these voters.
Morawiecki, Poland's head of government since 2017, was reappointed prime minister by President Andrzej Duda in November, but Law and Justice lacks a majority in the new parliament.
If Morawiecki's government fails to secure a vote of confidence from MPs, the lower house will appoint another prime minister, likely the opposition leader Donald Tusk.
Economic growth, national security, public services
In his policy speech, Morawiecki outlined what he said were four central values of his new Cabinet.
He mentioned "people," their freedom of choice and their role as "parts of a bigger whole;" and the "agency and sovereignty" of Poland, including its capacity to "change the European Union for the better."
Morawiecki also stressed the importance of "credibility," in the sense of "the government delivering on its pledges."
He said that the Law and Justice-led Cabinet of the past eight years "showed Polish people that their voice really matters and that power is an obligation."
The prime minister also outlined the main challenges for Poland and his new Cabinet, including "that Poland joins the club of the world's biggest economies; "that the Polish army grows ever stronger," amid Russia's "neoimperial policy;" that social policy helps improve the fertility rate and introduces a "guaranteed minimum income;" and that Poland develops "quality public services," private broadcaster Polsat News reported.
Morawiecki also said that Poland represented a "shared heritage and obligation" for the Polish people, adding that a "strong Poland" meant peace and security for the nation and other countries of the region.
In conclusion, he urged the country's political forces to "choose dialogue and seek the things that connect us."
The prime minister asked MPs for a vote of confidence as the house prepared for a floor debate on Morawiecki's policy speech.
Poland to have new PM on Monday?
A bloc of opposition parties has put forward Donald Tusk, a former top European Union official, as their candidate for prime minister.
Tusk's liberal Civic Coalition (KO) group is poised to take power in Poland, forming a coalition government with the centre-right Third Way alliance and the Left, after an election in October.
At 4:30 p.m. on Monday, the lower house, the Sejm, will launch the procedure to elect a new head of government, including a floor debate and a vote at 8 p.m., according to a schedule released by the Sejm Office.
On the following day, the new prime minister will address MPs at 9 a.m., outlining his planned policies and the proposed team of ministers, and ask the house for a vote of confidence in his Cabinet, Polish state news agency PAP reported.
That vote is scheduled for 3 p.m. on Tuesday, December 12.
Tusk's Cabinet is then expected to be sworn in by the president on December 13.
Tusk on Friday unveiled the lineup of his future Cabinet and urged the head of state to appoint his government on December 13, in time for a crucial EU summit starting in Brussels the next day.
He said the summit would make decisions "of great importance to Poland's interests."
EU leaders are expected to discuss the war in Ukraine and a protest by Polish haulers at the border with Ukraine, among other topics, according to officials.
Tusk was Poland's prime minister from 2007 to 2014 before becoming president of the European Council, a role he held until 2019.
