Janusz Reiter, former Polish ambassador to the USA and Germany: Germany should care about cooperation with Poland

Janusz Reiter emphasizes the importance of Poland-Germany cooperation for regional security during the Munich Security Conference.

During an interview at the Munich Security Conference held from February 13 to 15, Janusz Reiter, former Polish ambassador to the USA and Germany, discussed the significance of Poland's relationship with Germany in the context of European security. Following last year's shock statements, Reiter noted a more conciliatory atmosphere this year, highlighted by Senator Marco Rubio's address, which called for a reevaluation of transatlantic partnerships. Reiter pointed out that the United States seems to be reducing its role in Europe to focus on nuclear deterrence, thereby calling for European nations, particularly Germany, to assume more responsibility in conventional deterrence. This shift indicates a growing expectation from the US towards Germany, which Reiter believes is a crucial signal for Poland, suggesting that cooperative security measures could be pursued. Emphasizing the importance of collaboration, Reiter articulated that Poland and Germany must strengthen their security ties amid evolving geopolitical challenges. His insights at the conference reflect broader implications for Central European security dynamics and the potential for enhanced trilateral cooperation between Poland, Germany, and the United States.
