Government leaders of Poland and Germany held wide bilateral consultations aimed at giving a new impulse to neighbourly relations that sagged under Poland’s previous government, and to jointly declare responsibility for Europe’s security in turbulent times.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz travelled with 12 ministers and government members, including Defence Minister Boris Pistorius, for the meeting in Warsaw on Tuesday.
