Poland's conservative president-elect Andrzej Duda has held talks with the prime ministers of the United Arab Emirates and Canada as he prepares to take office.
Duda unexpectedly defeated President Bronislaw Komorowski in a May election and will take office Aug. 6. He'll have to work with the liberal, pro-business government.
In the meantime, the Foreign Ministry has made an office available to him where he can work and meet with politicians.
In two separate meetings Tuesday, Duda discussed economic co-operation and security with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and with the emir of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
