Tusk spoke to reporters after meeting Nawrocki at the presidential palace in Warsaw, state news agency PAP reported.
He said he and Nawrocki agreed that Russia’s war in neighbouring Ukraine and Poland’s security should not become subjects of domestic political disputes.
“On these issues, there must be absolutely joint action,” Tusk said.
He added that both he and Nawrocki would seek to project a single position on security matters, whether they fall under the president’s constitutional prerogatives or the government’s responsibilities.
Tusk said he briefed Nawrocki on recent talks among European leaders within the so-called Coalition of the Willing, which is working on security guarantees for Ukraine and on obligations for allies following a potential ceasefire.
Poland’s security depends heavily on how the war in Ukraine ends and on Kyiv’s position during and after peace negotiations, Tusk said.
The prime minister also said his talks with Nawrocki covered efforts to promote Poland’s participation in this year’s G20 summit of the world’s major economies.
“Both the president and the government have a role to play here,” Tusk said. “It is important that we act together, because Poland’s reputation and its economic achievements are at stake.”
Nawrocki’s spokesman Rafał Leśkiewicz told reporters that the president and the prime minister share the same position on security matters.
“They discussed the terms of peace in Ukraine and cooperation on issues crucial to Poland’s security,” Leśkiewicz said.
