During a meeting with Germany’s Heiko Maas in Berlin, Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau voiced hope that the two countries would soon resolve the issue of commemorating Polish World War II victims in Germany, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.

The two top diplomats also talked about ideas to promote Polish language teaching in Germany, the Polish foreign ministry said.

It added that the main focus of the talks was "on a range of topics on the current bilateral, European and international agenda."

The Polish foreign ministry noted that Rau visited Berlin directly after holding trilateral talks earlier in the day in Paris with the German and French foreign ministers as part of what is known as the Weimar Triangle group.
