Between 28 and 30 May, Lebanon hosted an official Polish delegation representing the Ministry of Defense and the National Security Bureau. The role of the head of the delegation was committed to Minister Wladyslaw Stasiak, chief of the National Security Bureau.
The transaction dealing with the delivery of prefabricated houses for the Lebanese Armed Forces has been finalized. More information is available in the article's continuation.
It
has become a good tradition that every year in August and September we
welcome in Lebanon a Polish archeological mission of the University of
Warsaw, headed by Dr Tomasz Waliszewski. Our archeologists, who in recent
years, in co-operation with the Lebanese General Direction of Antiquities
made a number of valuable discoveries in the village of Chhîm this season,
have started new promising projects.
The Polish August of 1980 – made memorable
through the worker protests in Baltic coast cities and the emergence of
Solidarity – became one of the most important milestones in the history of
our country and one of the key turning points in the modern history of the
world. The strikers, fighting for the dignity of their toil, challenged the
foundations of a system based on the domination of the communist party in
all spheres of public life. Their successful struggle triggered
transformations in the whole Soviet bloc and left an imprint across the
globe. Much indicates that if Lech Walesa had not scaled the fence of the
Gdansk Shipyard in August 1980 – the Berlin Wall would have long remained a
mark of divided Europe.
