On 9 September, a meeting was held with the participation of Prof. Agnieszka Bieńczyk-Missala, Vice-Dean for International Cooperation at the Faculty of Political Science and International Studies, University of Warsaw, and Dr Kornelia Oblińska from the Department of Internal Security at the Faculty, together with His Excellency Ambassador Katsuhiko Takahashi, a representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan responsible for international economic affairs, Arctic issues, and the United Nations Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. His Excellency was accompanied by Mr Suguru Uyama, Second Secretary at the Embassy of Japan in Poland.
The meeting focused on contemporary geopolitical developments and international security challenges in the context of implementing National Action Plans for the Women, Peace and Security agenda, with particular emphasis on the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325.
The discussion highlighted the importance of a human security-based approach, as well as the role of international cooperation, the exchange of experience, education, and the systematic monitoring and evaluation of measures undertaken.
Particular attention was devoted to Japan’s experience, as the country is currently implementing its third National Action Plan on WPS, covering the period 2023–2028. In Poland, work is underway on the second National Action Plan, which takes into account contemporary security challenges, including the consequences of Russia’s war against Ukraine, hybrid threats, and disinformation.
The meeting also provided an opportunity to exchange experiences and reflect on possibilities for further developing Polish-Japanese cooperation in the field of the Women, Peace and Security agenda.
The Faculty of Political Science and International Studies at the University of Warsaw has for many years been actively engaged in promoting the principles of the WPS agenda and supporting efforts aimed at its effective implementation in Poland.
