Warsaw, May 08 (QNA) - Poland signed a nearly EUR 44 billion loan agreement with the European Commission to modernize its military and defense industry amid mounting regional security threats.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the deal as a historic moment for both Poland and the EU, saying Europe had learned the lessons of history and was ready to take greater responsibility for its security.
Poland is the largest beneficiary of the EU's Security Action for Europe program aimed at revitalizing Europe's defense sector in response to Russian threats and concerns over a potential US pullback from the continent. (QNA)
