Mateusz Morawiecki wrote on Twitter: “Together, with the participation of all EU countries, we should try to prevent a ‘hard Brexit.’ We are waiting for proposals that the government of Prime Minister Theresa May is to present to the EU."
May on Tuesday gained support from British deputies to reopen negotiations over her country’s divorce from the EU.
But other members of the European Union have said the deal cannot be changed.
Britain is on March 29 scheduled to be the first country ever to exit the bloc.
With some 1 million Poles living in Britain, Warsaw is watching closely as the UK weighs up its options. The possibilities include a disorderly or delayed exit, or no Brexit at all.
