Polish President sends an occasional telegram to President Trump

"Dear Mr. President, We have entered the year 2018 which for the Republic of Poland is a particular one: on November 11, Poland is going to celebrate the centenary of regaining independence" - wrote President Duda.

"In this connection, the day January 8, 1918, has a symbolic dimension to us. Precisely one hundred years ago, President Woodrow Wilson announced his Plan for Peace: ”The Fourteen Points” to the international order nascent after World War 1. For my country, point 13 was the most valid one, it provided for the creation of an independent Polish state “which should be assured a free and secure access to the sea whose political and economic independence and territorial integrity should be guaranteed by international covenant.” This declaration has been seen by all Polish people, back then and now, as a landmark event on the way to regaining our sovereignty after 123 years of enslavement" - he added. "The political concept presented by the American leader one hundred years ago relied on two values, equally close to our two respective Nations; that of equality among states: big and small alike, and of their indisputable right to self-determination. The friendship forged between the Polish and the American Nation, founded on those two values, continues until today. In this vein, particular satisfaction can be derived from our strategic partnership which is growing dynamically, with its broad scope yielding tangible benefits to the whole region of Central Europe. Recalling this special historic occasion, as much as the excellent shape of our bilateral relations between Poland and the United States of America, I wish you, Mr. President, all success throughout the New Year, and I look forward to meeting you soon," - uda wrote.
