Saxony's Minister President Michael Kretschmer (CDU) is celebrating the Day of German Unity in Warsaw. According to the State Chancellery, he is traveling to Poland for the first time since the change of government and will attend the reception at the German Embassy. The Free State is the partner state this year.
The visit to the neighbors from 2 to 4 October is intended to deepen cooperation in business, science, research and education for the benefit of both regions. Kretschmer will be accompanied by members of the state parliament, a business and science delegation and vocational school students. "As a direct neighbor, Poland is one of Saxony's most important partners," said Kretschmer before his departure.
