During an official visit to Yerevan, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and Ministry of Economy State Secretary Vladimír Šimoňák highlighted defence and energy as key areas for cooperation with Armenia. Slovakia, which supplies technology for Armenia’s Soviet-era nuclear plant, offered further support from its nuclear and defence industries.
Fico and Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan agreed to strengthen economic ties in these sectors. Fico also backed closer Armenia–EU relations and offered Slovakia’s EU integration expertise. At the Yerevan Dialogue forum, he called Armenia a key regional partner and voiced support for the EU observer mission and peace efforts with Azerbaijan.
Pashinyan accepted an invitation to visit Slovakia. Fico also paid tribute to the victims of the Armenian genocide of 1915-18 in Yerevan on Tuesday.
