Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski said on Wednesday his country supports the United States' military attacks against Iraq and has promised to contribute troops to a possible war with Baghdad.
Kwasniewski made the remarks as he returned from the United States from a two-day working visit where he discussed with his US counterpart George W. Bush and other US officials on the bilateral relations and the situation in Iraq.
He said his visit has helped the development of the relationship between the two countries.
During the visit, Kwasniewski demanded the United States exempt the entry visas for Polish citizens as it treated other European Union countries when Poland enters the EU in 2004.
Responding to the rumor that he could succeed George Robertson as the secretary-general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO), Kwasniewski said he will not seek the position before his tenure concludes at the end of next year.
