President of Poland visiting to Mongolia

Lech Aleksander Kaczynski, President of Poland, is paying a state visit to Mongolia.
Kaczynski is a graduate of law and administration of Warsaw University. In 1980 he was awarded his PhD by Gdansk University.
In 1990 he had his habilitation in labour and employment law. He later assumed professorial positions at Gdansk University and Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw. In the 1970s Lech Kaczynski was an activist in the democratic anti-Communist movement in Poland, Workers' Defence Committee, as well as the Independent Trade Union movement. In August, 1980, he became an adviser to the Inter-Enterprise Strike Committee in the Gdansk Shipyard and the Solidarity movement. During the martial law introduced by the communists in December, 1981, he was interned as an anti-socialist element. After his release from internment, he returned to trade union activities, becoming a member of the underground Solidarity.
When Solidarity was legalized again in the late 1980s, Lech Kaczynski was an active adviser of Lech Walesa and his Komitet Obywatelski Solidarnosc in 1988. From February to April, 1989, he participated in Polish Round Table talks.
Kaczynski was elected a senator in elections of June 1989, and became the vice-chairman of Solidarity trade union NSZZ Solidarnosc. In the 1991 parliamentary election, Kaczynski was elected to the parliament as a non-party member. He was, however, supported by the electoral committee Center Civic Alliance, closely related but not identical to the political party Porozumienie Centrum led by his brother. He was also the main adviser and supporter of Lech Walesa when the latter was elected as President of Poland in December 1990. Walesa nominated Kaczyński to be the Security Minister in the Presidential Chancellery but fired him in 1992 due to a conflict concerning Jan Olszewski's government. That event marks the beginning of a long conflict between Walesa and the Kaczynski brothers. According to Walesa, who recently criticized the Kaczynski brothers, a reason was that "His approach is to first destroy and then think about what to build".
Lech Kaczynski was the President of the Supreme Chamber of Control from February 1992 to May 1995 and later Minister of Justice and Attorney General in Jerzy Buzek's government from June 2000 until his dismissal in July 2001. During this time he was very popular because he fought corruption.
On 19 March 2005, he formally declared his intention to run for president in the October 2005 election. Lech won and his brother became Prime Minister in summer 2006.
Elected President of the Republic of Poland on 23 October, he assumed the office on 23 December 2005 by taking an oath before the National Assembly.
The President’s state visit will finish tomorrow.
