Marcin Przydacz, who heads the president's International Policy Bureau, told public broadcaster Polish Radio that Nawrocki’s outreach began immediately after his election, using congratulatory calls from President Donald Trump and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss security.
"The presence of a special US delegation at Wednesday’s inauguration shows that Washington also values this relationship," Przydacz said, adding that Nawrocki hopes to visit the United States "as soon as possible."
While "America comes first," Nawrocki also plans active diplomacy across Central Europe, "including the Three Seas and Bucharest Nine formats," and with Baltic allies.
Hungary, though "important," is unlikely to be his first stop, Przydacz said.
On the European Union, Przydacz said Nawrocki will oppose treaty changes that deepen political centralization, arguing they strengthen the dominance of the bloc’s largest Western members.
Turning to the war next door, Przydacz confirmed that Poland will keep supporting Ukraine but "not unconditionally."
“We support Ukraine, yet we set certain requirements,” he said, contrasting Nawrocki’s stance with Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s call for blanket backing.
Nawrocki, a conservative historian, was sworn in as Poland’s new president on Wednesday, officially beginning his five-year term after taking the oath of office before a joint session of parliament.
Przydacz, a former deputy foreign minister, also served as chief foreign policy adviser to former President Andrzej Duda.
