PUTRAJAYA: Agata Kornhauser-Duda, spouse of Polish President Andrzej Duda, went on a cruise around Putrajaya Lake here today.
Arriving at 10.30 am, she was welcomed by Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, the wife of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Agata Duda spent about 45 minutes in friendly conversation with Dr Wan Azizah while admiring the iconic buildings surrounding the national administrative centre.
