Biographies 

Andrzej Sebastian Duda served as the sixth president of Republic of Poland, beginning in August 2015. Before his tenure as president, from 2008 to 2010, during the presidency of the late Lech Kaczyński, Duda was an undersecretary of state in the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland. 

Dmytro Kuleba served as Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs from March 2020 to September 2024 and was one of the most effective and visible members of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s cabinet during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As the youngest foreign minister in Ukraine’s history, he led the country’s foreign service through its most challenging times. He played a pivotal role in forging alliances, securing arms, imposing sanctions, advancing Ukraine’s bids for EU and NATO membership, and strengthening ties with Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
