The two leaders met at at RAF Northolt, where the 303 Polish Fighter Squadron was based during WW2.
PM Sir Keir hailed their joint alliance against Hitler as “the foundation for the strong friendship the two countries shared today”.
They agreed more cooperation on defence and cybersecurity.

Ms Badenoch pledged to go on the biggest ever peacetime rearming blitz.
The Tory leader said the UK has been “prioritising benefits over bullets” and is facing a day of reckoning.
Unleashing both barrels on PM Sir Keir Starmer, she branded his failure to find the billions needed to fund our military “a national disgrace”.
And she accused the Government of lying by pretending we are prepared for war.
She added: “We are not ready.”
Ms Badenoch was speaking at the London Defence Conference, where she set out her plan to ramp up defence spending.
