Poland launched the resolution inspired by specific examples such as the Three Seas Initiative created in 2015 by European countries between the Baltic, Adriatic and Black Seas, the president said. – Over the past nine years, joint action has contributed to increasing the security and prosperity of the European Union, mainly through infrastructure links, he added.
Andrzej Duda added Three sea nations “They are the driving force of the European economy.” – Central and Eastern Europe is particularly affected by Russian aggression against Ukraine. The president told the United Nations that the Three Seas Initiative allowed him to get rid of Russian energy resources.
– We firmly believe that infrastructure is the backbone of every economy. (…) Bridging the gap in this area requires public and private funding, in cooperation with developing countries. “I assure you that Poland and the entire European Union are committed to strengthening cooperation with other countries,” the president said.
