In an interview with private broadcaster Radio Zet on Wednesday, Sikorski said that Warsaw would push for the creation of a NATO Joint Analysis, Training, and Education Centre (JATEC) in Bydgoszcz. The city already hosts NATO's Joint Force Training Centre (JFTC).

Sikorski pointed out that Poland spends a higher percentage of its GDP on defense than any other NATO member.

“Above all, we're going there [to Washington] as an example to follow,” he said.

He underscored Poland’s staunch support of Ukraine, adding that the war-torn country’s security has become a top priority for NATO member states.

Sikorski said that the Polish delegation at the upcoming NATO summit would advocate for strengthening the alliance’s eastern flank, adding that Poland’s air defense capabilities in particular needed to be enhanced.
