As the last year of his presidency is on, Andrzej Duda has gone to China determined to discuss economic partnership and Russia’s aggression in Ukraine with Xi Jingping.

The official twitter channel for the President of the Republic of Poland reported this.

Despite China’s extremely close ties with the aggressor state, the leader of Poland promised to sign a few economical agreements strengthening the trade cooperation, emphasizing on the importance of the realtions between China and Poland.

“There are two essential moments ahead: trade, we will sign several important agreements. We hope to open the Chinese market for our products as well as for Chinese investments in Poland. The second moment is the security issue, including Russian aggression against Ukraine,” reads the statement.

As Duda seeks to explain the position of the West on the war in Ukraine to Xi, he is also determined to mention the Poland-Belarus border issue as the migrant crisis there only gets worse as Belarus intentionally pushes illegal migrant towards Poland.

“China maintains relations with Belarus, hence, I want to raise the issue of what is happening on our borders with the Head of the People’s Republic of China,” the President of Poland stressed.

Duda previously had two trips to China, one of them was the start of his presidency.
