Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has announced a new national doctrine that seeks to turn Warsaw into an “economic miracle” protected by the “strongest army in the region,” in a speech marking the 1,000th anniversary of the creation of the Kingdom of Poland.
Speaking on Friday in Gniezno, the city where the first King of Poland, Boleslaw the Brave, was crowned a millennium ago, Tusk outlined three “pillars” of the new doctrine.
“We will have the strongest army in the region. Don’t say it’s impossible. Yes, our army must be able to overcome any threat.

The National Piast Doctrine, named after Poland’s first historical ruling house, also aims to build “the strongest economy in the region” and reinforce the country’s political standing on the global stage.
