Distinctions for members of foreign service

17.11.2022

On 17 November 2022, on behalf of the President of Poland Andrzej Duda, Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau awarded orders and state distinctions, including Medals for Long-Time Service and Medals on the Centenary of Regaining Independence to outstanding members of the foreign service.

During a ceremony accompanying this year's celebration of Foreign Service Day, Minister Rau underlined that a career in diplomacy is both a distinction and a great commitment towards the Homeland, fellow citizens, and future generations. The mission of the foreign service is to pursue the interests of the Republic of Poland through cooperation in Europe and across the world to enhance security, democracy, and development. Especially now Polish diplomats have to take on extraordinary ventures of immense importance for our future, security and credibility.

The head of Polish diplomacy expressed his hope that the honour of being granted awards for long-time service to Poland will not only be an acknowledgement of the achievements to date but also a stimulus to keep up the hard work for the benefit of our country.
