Slovak President Peter Pellegrini met his Czech counterpart Petr Pavel in Prague on Tuesday evening, where they attended a concert by the Slovak Philharmonic marking the 25th anniversary of the Month of Czech-Slovak Cultural Mutuality.
Both presidents highlighted the close ties between the two nations, stressing the importance of mutual respect, dialogue and cooperation in today's uncertain times. Pavel also welcomed the opportunity to discuss not only bilateral relations but wider developments in Europe and the world.
The visit also saw the first Slovak-Czech Economic Forum, bringing together representatives of business, academia and public institutions to explore ways of strengthening economic cooperation between the two countries. The two presidents are due to meet again this week at the V4 summit in Trenčín, Slovakia.
