I visited my uncle in Moscow last summer. He is an ambassador there so I could observe his work in diplomacy. Polish – Russian relations were rather tense therefore he worked on reducing the tension between the two countries. He managed to reach compromise on many important issues. He also negotiated terms of the summit which was due to take place in September. Poland and Russia signed a treaty which proved to be beneficial for our economy.
