The report, titled Poland in the G20: This Is Just the Beginning, was compiled by the Sobieski Institute think tank and presented at a news conference in Warsaw on Wednesday.

Its authors analyse the economic, institutional and social conditions Poland needs to meet to strengthen its position on the global stage in the coming decades.

The report also outlines recommendations on economic policy, infrastructure development and ways to enhance Poland’s international standing.

It comes as Poland is set to take South Africa's place at this year’s G20 summit in the United States.

Polish President Karol Nawrocki said in Washington in September that US President Donald Trump had invited him to the summit, which is expected to take place in December at Trump’s resort in Doral, near Miami, Florida.

Marcin Przydacz, head of Nawrocki’s International Policy Bureau, said at the time that the invitation marked a first step in Poland’s push to eventually join the group.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said in Miami in September that he had asked the United States to support Poland's bid for full G20 membership.

Speaking after a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Sikorski said he made the request because Poland has reached the status of a trillion-dollar economy.
