WARSAW, Sept. 2 (Xinhua) -- Polish and Portuguese Presidents, Lech Kaczynski and Anibal Cavaco Silva, met in Warsaw on Tuesday to discuss the situation in Georgia, Ukraine and the future fate of the Lisbon Treaty.

    President Silva started a three-day official visit to Poland on Tuesday, according to Polish news agency PAP.

    At a joint press conference following the two presidents talks, President Kaczynski stressed that Portugal "is our double ally," a country active on the Polish economic market.

    The president said that he discussed with his partner European affairs, among others the future of the Lisbon Treaty and the Mediterranean Union.
