Babis congratulates Duda on reelection as Polish president

Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) congratulated Polish President Andrzej Duda on his re-election via Twitter and said he looks forward to further cooperation within the Visegrad Four, which also includes Slovakia and Hungary.

Rudolf Jindrák, head of the Foreign Department of the Office of the President of the Czech Republic, said Duda’s re-election is good news for bilateral and regional cooperation.

Czech President Miloš Zeman has sent a congratulatory letter to his Polish counterpart, Jindrák said. Duda, a social conservative allied with the government led by the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party, defeated socially liberal mayor of Warsaw Rafał Trzaskowski by 2.5 percentage points, winning 51.2 percent of the vote.
