WARSAW, January 9 (RIA Novosti) - Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Wednesday that he would make a visit to the Russian capital on February 8 to discuss the "improvement of relations between Moscow and Warsaw".

The victory of the center-right Tusk in the Polish parliamentary elections in October 2007 raised hopes that Warsaw would take a more accommodating stance on disputes with Russia, including the planned deployment of U.S. missile shield elements in Poland and a recent meat ban issue.

"The improvement of relations between Moscow and Warsaw is a priority goal of current Polish foreign policy," the Polish prime minister told a news conference following a parliamentary session.

Tusk had earlier said that his government had "no rigid doctrine regarding the deployment of a U.S. missile defense base in the country," and that the issue was "open for all arguments for and against."
