The White House has said in a statement that President Obama will visit Poland “at the invitation of Bronislaw Komorowski, given during his visit to Washington on 8 December last year."
“The President’s trip will further strengthen the close alliance between United States and Poland,” the White House statement adds.
This will be Barack Obama’s first trip to Poland. The US head of state was scheduled to participate in the funeral in Krakow last April of President Lech Kaczynski, who died in the Smolensk air crash. The Icelandic volcanic ash cloud prevented him from attending, however. (pg)
