Slovak Parliament Speaker Richard Raši (Hlas-SD) has met with Japan’s ambassador to Slovakia, Yasuhiro Kawakami, to discuss closer political and economic cooperation. Raši said Slovakia considers Japan one of its key partners in Asia and wants to deepen ties in areas including science, technology and Japanese investment in Slovakia. There are currently 76 Japanese companies operating in the country, employing around 13,000 people. Raši highlighted further opportunities in industrial modernisation, decarbonisation and innovation. The planned visit by Japan’s foreign minister Toshimitsu Motegi to Slovakia later this month is expected to provide another opportunity to strengthen ties.
