Polish president laid flowers in front of UK's embassy in Warsaw. PM Beata Szydlo sent condolences to British PM
At least 22 people were killed and about 59 were injured following a terrorist attack on Monday night in front of a concert hall in Manchester, northwest England, after a concert by American pop star.
Polish President Andrzej Duda on Tuesday afternoon laid flowers in front of the British Embassy in Warsaw in an expression of solidarity with Britain after Monday night's bombing at a pop concert in Manchester.
The president offered condolences to British Ambassador Jonathan Knott and made an entry in the condolence book.
Earlier on Tuesday Andrzej Duda said that Polish people shared the pain of the families of the dead and wounded.
"I categorically condemn the revolting act of terror and violence against innocent people, Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo wrote in a condolence letter addressed to UK Prime Minister Theresa May in connection with the Manchester attack.
Polish PM's condolences were published on Twitter by the government spokesman Rafal Bochenek on Tuesday.
"I am shocked by the news of a terrorist attack that happened at night near the Manchester concert hall. I want to convey to you words of my deepest sympathy for families and the close ones of those who have lost their lives in this tragedy", PM Szydlo wrote.
"The international community must strongly oppose actions that threaten the security of citizens. We will not allow for the destruction of the democratic and tolerant foundations of our societies. I believe that through solidarity we will put an end to the terrorist threat", the Polish PM added.
Szydlo also assured her British counterpart that Poland, "which has traditionally had close and allied relations with Great Britain", is ready to provide the necessary support for "the defence of common European values".
This newest tragic event in which innocent citizens became victims shows that the fight against terrorism must be intensified, Poland's Interior Minister Mariusz Blaszczak wrote in a message of condolence sent to his British counterpart Amber Rudd.
"I would like to assure of our support for the attack victims' grieving families and for all the British people", Blaszczak wrote in the message.
Later on Tuesday British police identified Salman Abedi, a British citizen of Libyan descent, as the suicide bomber responsible for the attack. The so-called Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the bombing. (PAP)
