Wednesday, 21 October 2009U.S. Vice President Joe Biden arrived in Poland on a two-day visit, a RIA Novosti correspondent reported on Wednesday.
His plane landed at a military airport in Warsaw at 21:00 GMT.
During the visit, Biden is expected to brief Poland's president and prime minister on Washington's revised missile defense plans. He is also expected to reassure Polish leadership that the U.S. still has interests in Central Europe, despite its decision to scrap the missile shield.
"Lech Kaczynski would like to discuss with the U.S. vice president issues emerging from the signing last year of a Polish-American declaration of strategic cooperation," a source in the presidential office told RIA Novosti. "Apart from this, the Polish president intends to talk about NATO's new strategic policy."
Biden's Eastern European tour also includes Romania and Czech Republic. |
