Colby called Thursday's meeting “very productive.” “I reiterated our message that the U.S. is leading a true shared responsibility for conventional defense under European leadership. We will continue to convey this message to our allies in the weeks ahead,” Colby wrote on X.
“Strong and lasting presence”
“In this context, Poland stands out as a model ally and leader among our allies. We count on close cooperation with Poland and want our presence in Poland to remain strong and lasting,” he added.
Zalewski announced that he also signed an agreement in Washington with Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll, which gives Poland access to a special American platform on which companies from the US and allied countries will place their certified drone and anti-drone capabilities to make them available to our armies.
Driscoll wrote on X that the conversation highlighted “how this key platform strengthens the national security of both our countries.” “Together with all participating partners, we are committed to building a more integrated and stronger UAS and C-UAS ecosystem,” i.e. unmanned ship systems and anti-drone systems, he noted.
