WARSAW, June 17 (Reuters) - Poland and Germany have signed a bilateral defence agreement, defence ministers of both countries announced on Wednesday, as Warsaw is seeking to firm up its alliances at a time when it sees a rising threat from Russia.
• Poland has already signed defence treaties with France and Britain and is working on one with Italy.
• "The defence agreement... opens up new areas for cooperation. In the field of cybersecurity, joint responsibility, joint command in the Baltic, new technologies," Poland's Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said during a press conference with Germany's Boris Pistorius.
• "It opens up new opportunities regarding military mobility as well as the development of infrastructure for this mobility between our states."
• The document was signed on the 35th anniversary of the signing of the Polish–German Treaty of Good Neighbourly Relations and Friendly Cooperation.
