Pope Leo XIV on Thursday morning received in audience, at
the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican, the outgoing President of the Republic of
Poland, Andrzej Duda.
Duda’s presidency officially ends in August 2025. First
elected in 2015 and re-elected in 2020, Polish law prohibits serving more than
two consecutive presidential terms. The president-elect, Karol Nawrocki, who
won the recent election, is scheduled to take the oath of office on August 6.
According to a statement by the Holy See Press Office,
President Duda subsequently met with Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of
State, who was accompanied by Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, Secretary for
Relations with States and International Organisations.
“During the cordial discussions at the Secretariat of State,
both parties expressed their mutual appreciation for the strong bilateral
relations between the Holy See and the Republic of Poland. The conversation
also offered an opportunity to exchange views on the country’s current
socio-political situation,” the statement said.
The statement added that “The meeting continued with a focus
on international matters, with particular attention given to the ongoing war in
Ukraine.”
