Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his Polish counterpart, Radoslaw Sikorski, said on Thursday that they would support a continuation of the rapprochement process their two countries launched three years ago, DPA reported.
Lavrov said in the Polish capital Warsaw that he sees a will for cooperation on both sides, with not only the two governments, but both nations, wanting normal, neighbourly relations.
Both countries want to "demilitarize" their relationship and emphasize their economic contacts, Sikorski added.
Sikorski also called for freedom of travel between Poland and Russia.
Both countries are poised to sign an agreement paving the way for visa-free travel between Russia's Kaliningrad enclave and eastern Poland's border region.
Poland also plans to lobby in Brussels for the abolishment of visa requirements for Russian citizens traveling in the European Union.
Earlier in the day, Lavrov became the first Russian politician to take part in an annual conference of Polish ambassadors. As its main speaker, he talked about Russia's EU policies and the relationship between his country and Poland.
Shortly after his inauguration in late 2007, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk had set the course for tensions with Russia to be eased.
