Poland's Duda urges France's Macron to show NATO cooperation ideas

Polish President Andrzej Duda said in London on Tuesday that he would like his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, to show how to improve cooperation within NATO rather than speaking of a "brain-dead" alliance. Attending a session of "NATO Engages: Defence and Deterrence for a New Era," a part of a NATO summit that is being held in London, Duda said that NATO is a key element for stabilisation and security in Europe. He admitted that there are numerous tensions both within NATO and the EU, but "these two alliances, NATO and the EU, are the world's two biggest success stories," he said. Duda urged Macron to stop talking about NATO as being "brain-dead." "Please, suggest what we can do to improve our cooperation in NATO and the EU, and please be specific," the Polish president said, addressing the French head of state.
