The American ambassador speaks again. “We pay tribute to Polish soldiers”

The United States pays tribute to Polish soldiers fighting alongside American soldiers, as well as the Polish-American partnership, said US Ambassador to Poland Tom Rose on Wednesday. He added that Poland is a model ally for the United States.

Speaking about the ideas surrounding the founding of the United States, Rose also mentioned the sacrifices of Poles over the generations. As he said, Polish patriots fought with the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, but also in both world wars, as well as in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In this context, he recalled the agreement concluded in October last year. agreement between the National Center for Nuclear Research and the American Westinghouse on cooperation in the field of nuclear energy.

Rose also talked about the commitment of American companies – he said that over 1,600 of them have already invested over USD 30 billion in Poland, “helping one of the most impressive economic success stories flourish.”
