The treaty is designed to bolster the Polish-French alliance, with a focus on mutual assistance in the event of external threats, including military support.

Tusk has said that the treaty will establish a framework for both countries to assist each other in case of aggression.

Following the main agreement, the two leaders also finalized a second document on collaboration in civilian nuclear energy.

"This treaty is not just about good intentions – it’s a historic breakthrough," said Tusk.

The treaty marks a new chapter in Polish-French relations, with both leaders expressing confidence that it will serve as a solid foundation for future cooperation across various sectors.

In a social media post, Macron said in Polish: "Nancy - a city of memory that symbolises the deep ties between Poland and France - today becomes the setting for a new chapter in our friendship: a stronger partnership in the service of a more sovereign Europe."
