Bush to meet Polish President

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 (Xinhuanet) -- US President George W. Bush is due to meet his Polish counterpart Lech Kaczynski at the White House on Feb. 9, the White House said in a statement Tuesday.

"The two presidents will discuss reform and democracy in Eastern Europe, energy security, NATO and assistance to the people of Iraq and Afghanistan," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said in a statement.

"Poland is among America's closest friends and allies, and a leading strategic partner in the cause of freedom," McClellan added.

It will be Kaczynski's first visit to the White House since he assumed the presidency in December 2005.

Poland, an ally of the United States, sent troops to take part in the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. It used to be the third-largest contingent in the US-led coalition in Iraq, but it will cut its troop level in Iraq to 900 from about 1,500 in March 2006.
