President of Poland Andrzej Duda has invited President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky to pay a visit to Warsaw in August, Ambassador of Poland to Ukraine Bartosz Cichocki reported.
“There is an invitation of President Duda for President Zelensky to Warsaw in August. But no one knows how it will be. Both we and our Ukrainian colleagues are interested in such a visit, but it depends not only on us, but also on the situation with the coronavirus,” he said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
The ambassador added that there have been agreements about a visit of Polish President Duda to Ukraine in April.
“But, of course, this was not possible because of the epidemic. But now, simultaneously with easing the restrictions related to the epidemic, we are talking about a possible visit. I also talked about this with Deputy [Foreign] Minister [Vasyl] Bodnar. This schedule will be dynamic now,” he explained.
According to Cichocki, he also hopes that a visit of Head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory Anton Drobovych to Poland may happen in June.
“I hope that such a visit will be possible in June. I know that Mr. Drobovych is interested in the visit, and our colleagues are ready and open for dialogue,” he said. The diplomat informed that there was an agreement on the visit of Drobovych to Warsaw in March, but an epidemic prevented him from visiting.
“We are really looking forward to this because at the highest level of the presidents we agreed on progress, and that such matters as exhumations, cemeteries should not impede bilateral relations,” he said.
