This is the best summary I could come up with:
The plans include improving relations with the European Union and pledging to restore the rule of law, the focus of a long-running row with Brussels.
In a speech to parliament ahead of a vote of confidence in his proposed government, Mr Tusk said an isolated Poland was the greatest danger to the country's security.
The European Commission has taken legal action against Poland's previous right-wing Law and Justice (PiS)-led government for introducing reforms that undermined judicial independence.
Mr Tusk said uncontrolled migration was a challenge, adding it was possible to construct a policy that would both secure Poland's borders and treat migrants humanely.
If Mr Tusk wins the vote of confidence, which should be a formality given the coalition's comfortable majority, the government will be sworn in by President Andrzej Duda on Wednesday.
But the day was marred by an incident in which far-right MP Grzegorz Braun put out candles recently lit on a menorah in the parliament for the Jewish festival of Hanukkah using a fire extinguisher.
