A new Slovak diplomatic mission in Tanzania has been open, with Ivan Lančarič appointed as the head of the mission. According to Foreign Minister Juraj Blanár (Smer-SD), building partnerships with countries of the Global South is one of the priorities of Slovak foreign policy, as defined in the Government Manifesto.
„We are thus building on the tradition of former Czechoslovakia, which had one of the strongest diplomatic presences in Africa," said Blanár.
He stressed the importance of a broader Slovak presence on the African continent. According to the ministry, Tanzania is one of the priority territories also from the perspective of diversifying Slovak exports.
