Polish president's chief aide to visit US in mid-January

Krzysztof Szczerski, the Polish president's chief aide, will pay a visit to Washington in mid-January. A meeting with Robert O'Brien, the US National Security Adviser, is on his visit's agenda. Szczerski told PAP that that his visit "does not have a direct connection with the recent developments in the international arena." "There has been such a custom that at the beginning of a new year I always go to Washington to hold talks regarding bilateral policies, at the White House and the State Department. This year the situation will be the same. Of course, there is this additional security context now," he said.
