In a letter addressed to the Delegate, Anthony Bailey, the Ambassador wrote about his valuable experience and relationships he acquired as a diplomat in the United Kingdom.
“Whether I have met students, teachers, entrepreneurs, government or civic leaders, community activists, or Polish expatriates, I have been touched by the sincerity, kindness, and hospitality. This people to people diplomacy is a way to truly deepen our relationship and make it an enduring one.
“I am proud of the personal relationships I have developed with many persons: in government at all levels, members of the Royal Family, educational and cultural institutions, think tanks, the City of London, business leaders and organizations, and with citizens of the UK from all walks of life. […] The UK will always be in my heart and I intend to continue to work to further the bonds between our two great counties.” said Ambassador Sobków.
His Excellency personally thanked the Delegate for his friendship and support.
