Waszczykowski was born in Piotrków Trybunalski, Poland on 5 May 1957. He is a graduate of the University of Łódź, earning a Master's degree in history, and the University of Oregon, where he received a master's degree in international studies. Waszczykowski completed advanced studies at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy. He also holds a PhD in history from the University of Łódź.[1]

He joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1992. Between 1997 and 1999 he was working at the Permanent Representation of Poland to NATO in Brussels as deputy chief of mission. From 1999 to 2002, Waszczykowski was the Ambassador of Poland to Iran.[2] On 4 November 2005, he became Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. Waszczykowski served as the chief negotiator with the United States on missile defense. He served until 11 August 2008.[3]

From 27 August 2008 to 6 July 2010, Waszczykowski was the Deputy Head of the National Security Bureau.[4] In the 2011 parliamentary elections, he successfully ran for the Sejm.[5] He was reelected in 2015.[6]

Since 16 November 2015, Waszczykowski has been the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Cabinet of Beata Szydło.

On 10 January 2017, he accidentally referred to the country of Saint Kitts and Nevis as "San Escobar" (the mistake reportedly stems from the islands' Spanish name, San Cristóbal y Nieves).[7] This was immediately picked up by newspapers throughout the world, such as The Guardian,[8] The Telegraph,[9] The Washington Post,[10] The New York Times,[11] and Britské listy.[12]

In 2019, he was elected member to the European Parliament, receiving 168.021 votes.[13]

Waszczykowski has been also cooperating with the Sobieski Institute.[14]
