"It is obvious to me that the world will not function normally if we do not defeat it [the coronavirus] globally, if there are countries where the pandemic continues to exist,” said Duda, who was attending the GLOBSEC conference in the Slovak capital, Bratislava.
He added: "This means that mutual solidarity is our duty, including in terms of sharing access to vaccines."
The GLOBSEC meeting is an annual event focusing on global and regional security issues. The main topic this year is recovery from COVID-19.
In Poland, the epidemic is receding and the government has loosened a swathe of restrictions on daily life. Health Minister Adam Niedzielski said on Tuesday that the country was close to reaching herd immunity against the coronavirus.
