This initiative is intended to support the creation of working groups focused on implementing various areas of bilateral cooperation.
During a joint press conference, Sikorski said the discussions covered prospects for ending Russia’s aggression in Ukraine and regional developments in the Middle East.
Poland's top diplomat expressed appreciation for Saudi Arabia’s visit, its continued diplomatic engagement, and humanitarian support for Ukraine, while noting that peace initiatives, stabilisation efforts, and Gaza’s reconstruction were also key points of discussion.
The Polish minister highlighted that the new coordination council will allow working groups to implement specific cooperation projects.
The head of Poland's diplomacy also mentioned a parallel agreement that removes visa requirements for holders of diplomatic, service, and special passports, which, combined with existing direct flight connections, is expected to strengthen contacts and tourism between the two countries.
Polish–Saudi dialogue focuses on regional stability and economic cooperation
Prince Faisal described the talks as very constructive, covering both bilateral and economic matters. He noted that, despite strong relations, some areas of cooperation remain limited.
The Saudi minister framed the council as a permanent consultative body intended to expand trade and economic collaboration, adding that the trade balance between Poland and Saudi Arabia is growing and he expects this trend to continue.
The Saudi minister also discussed broader regional issues, including Yemen, Palestine, and the broader Middle East.
The diplomat confirmed Saudi Arabia’s support for the establishment of two independent states in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and expressed hope for continued humanitarian aid and eventual peace in the region.
He further noted that the talks addressed efforts to end the conflict in Ukraine.
