Slovakia has opened its first permanent platform in China dedicated to promoting Slovak culture, arts and education. Foreign Minister Juraj Blanár (Smer-SD) officially inaugurated the new Slovak Institute in Beijing on Tuesday.
The institute aims to strengthen cultural and educational ties between the two countries by bringing together Slovak and Chinese artists, cultural institutions and universities. Its programme will showcase both traditional and contemporary Slovak culture, including music, theatre, film, visual arts, design and architecture.
The institute, which operates as part of the Slovak Embassy in Beijing, is the tenth Slovak cultural institute worldwide. Its establishment follows an agreement on a strategic partnership between Slovakia and China reached during Prime Minister Robert Fico's visit to Beijing in 2024.
