Environment Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Tomáš Taraba (SNS nominee) has departed for a working visit to Azerbaijan, where he will represent Slovakia on behalf of Prime Minister Robert Fico at the World Urban Forum.
“The World Urban Forum WUF13 is one of the largest events of the United Nations, taking place for the first time in the Caucasus region and organised in cooperation with the Azerbaijani government. It focuses on safe and resilient cities and communities,” the ministry said.
During the visit, Taraba is set to meet Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Ecology and Natural Resources Minister Rashad Ismayilov, and State Water Resources Agency chairman Zaur Mikayilov.
Taraba described water diplomacy as a strategic tool that can open new opportunities for Slovakia in international cooperation.
