WARSAW, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will come to Warsaw on Tuesday to formally sign the deal on anti-missile shield, Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Ryszard Schnepf said Monday.

　　The agenda of Rice's short visit to Poland would be very tight, which includes meetings with Polish president and prime minister and consultations at the Foreign Ministry, Polish news agency PAP quoted Schnepf as saying.

　　Schnepf said on Wednesday Rice will meet Polish President Lech Kaczynski and later she would attend the ceremony of signing the Polish-U.S. agreement of the deployment of elements of the anti-missile shied in Poland.

　　The agreement will be signed by Rice and Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski. The ceremony will be followed by consultations between the Foreign Ministry and the U.S. Department of State that will center on "trouble spots including Caucasus."

　　Lunch given by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk will be the last point of Rice's visit to Poland. Schnepf said that before lunch the two politicians would discuss a political document announced during negotiations on the shield. The talk will be followed by press statements.

　　Meanwhile, according to a recent GfK Polonia survey for Rzeczpospolita daily, nearly 60 percent of Poles believe Poland needs the U.S. anti-missile shield and 37 percent think the decision allowing for its installation is wrong.

　　Polish and U.S. negotiators reached an agreement on Thursday to deploy parts of the U.S. global missile shield in Poland after Washington improved the terms of the deal amid the Georgia crisis.

　　The agreement reportedly provides for deploying Patriot missiles in Poland, without specifying their number, and strengthening Polish-U.S. military cooperation. It also includes a declaration of U.S. military cooperation in case of a threat to Poland from third states.
