BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 13. Slovak President
Peter Pellegrini arrived in Azerbaijan on Monday for an official
visit, the office of the Slovak president said.
During the visit, the sides are expected to discuss deepening
cooperation in the energy sector, supporting Slovak exports,
expanding industrial and technological cooperation, and developing
transport links between the two countries.
The possibility of Slovak partners participating in projects to
restore and develop territories affected by the conflict is also
expected to be discussed.
"As part of the visit, Pellegrini will travel to Azerbaijan's
Aghdam district, where he will review the Smart Village project in
Bash Garvand village and participate in the foundation-laying
ceremony for a new school named after General Milan Rastislav
Stefanik," the statement said.
The visit comes several months after the first-ever visit by an
Azerbaijani president to Slovakia, which took place in December
last year.
Pellegrini is accompanied by Slovak Defense Minister Robert
Kalinak, Economy Minister Denisa Sakova, Interior Minister Matus
Sutaj Estok, and National Bank of Slovakia Governor Peter
Kazimir.
Earlier reports said that a Slovak-Azerbaijani business forum
featuring Slovak entrepreneurs would be held in Baku alongside the
president's visit.
