Nawrocki and Rutte are scheduled to meet at the presidential palace in Warsaw at 10 a.m. local time, according to presidential spokesman Rafał Leśkiewicz.
The talks will focus on regional security and the war in Ukraine, Leśkiewicz said on Wednesday, noting that the meeting comes ahead of Nawrocki’s planned meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Warsaw on Friday.
While in Poland on Thursday, Rutte will also travel to Bemowo Piskie in the northeast of the country, where he will meet with troops from NATO’s multinational battlegroup stationed there.
Rutte is set to be joined at Bemowo Piskie by Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.
Britain’s Defence Secretary John Healey is also expected to attend, according to military officials.
The battlegroup includes troops from the United States, Britain, Romania and Croatia and operates alongside Poland’s 15th Mechanized Brigade as part of NATO's enhanced forward presence on the alliance’s eastern flank, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.
