Minister of Poland, Mr Tadeusz Mazowiecki:
Please accept my personal/ congratulations on the
historic occasion of your election to the position of
Prime Minister of Poland. The overwhelming majority by
which you were elected in the Parliament shows the
support and respect which you enjoy. I
For a long time, Australians have watched with sympathy
and hope the struggle of Solidarity to obtain basic
rights and freedoms for the Polish people. Your election
as Prime Minister will realise many of the desires of
the Polish people for a Poland which is democratically
and justly governed.
During this time of immense chag-in Poland, you can be
assured of my government's support. i We will assist, to
the extent possible, the process of reform in Poland. I
look forward to working closely-with you.
