Merkel and Sarkozy to meet with Poland at revived summit
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is to travel to Poland in February, upgrading an annual three-way meeting, which also includes France, to summit level, her spokesman disclosed Friday.
Until 2006, Poland’s leadership had direct access once a year to the leaders of France and Germany at the ‘Weimar Triangle‘ meeting.
Poland’s relations with the western Europeans became strained during the presidency of the late Lech Kaczynski, and talks were left to more junior officials. Poland’s president, Bronislaw Komorowski, asked Merkel this month to restore the meeting to top level.
