Korčok specified as much as 41 million from Switzerland!
The priority of the Slovak Republic is to use these resources to improve Swiss-Slovak relations in narrow areas. This was stated by the head of the Slovak Ministry of Diplomacy, Ivan Korčok (SaS nominee), after talks with the Swiss President and Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ignazio Cassis. Korčok is visiting Switzerland with the President of the Slovak Republic Zuzana Čaputová.
According to Korčok, Slovakia is ready to work intensively with Switzerland also in areas with climate change or sustainable development.
“Slovakia values Switzerland’s solidarity with countries that are currently facing a large influx of war refugees. I consider it important that our countries belong to the groups of countries that initiated the investigation of crimes related to the ongoing conflict (in Ukraine),” Korčok said.
Ministers also discussed relations between Switzerland and the European Union. There are more than 20,000 Slovaks living in Switzerland, and the question of further relations also affects them. “Well-established relationships,” will clearly facilitate opportunities to study, work and live in Switzerland. Korčok said.
Other topics of conversation were the European perspective for the Western Balkans, energy security and the possibility of further strengthening Slovak-Swiss relations or the development of cooperation in international organizations, the Slovak Ministry of Diplomacy said.
