He expressed hope that the meeting would yield positive results. He also mentioned the President's lecture at the University of Santo Tomas, aimed at young Filipinos, which was intended to present the potential of Poland and its economy as well as the country's growing political role.

He wrote that he considered this aspect of the visit to be particularly effective and emphasized that Poland should be promoted in a modern way. #Polska #Filipiny #dyplomacja (translated)
