25th anniversary of Poland's accession to NATO

In March, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Poland's accession to NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). On March 12, 1999, Minister of Foreign Affairs prof. Bronisław Geremek presented the act of Poland's accession to the North Atlantic Treaty to US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright at the library of President Harry Truman in Independence, Missouri, which formally ended the process of Poland's accession to the Alliance. From that moment on, Poland is covered by security guarantees resulting from, among others, joke. 5 of the Treaty, is also obliged, among others to constantly maintain and develop its own defense capabilities and assist other allies. Today, in the face of the war in Ukraine, we know more how important it is to live and feel safe. Celebrating such a special occasion in the Parliament of the Republic of Poland, in which I had the pleasure to participate, adds special importance and recognition to the moment and everyone to whom we owe where we are today.
