Slovak President Peter Pellegrini held bilateral talks with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace in Paris on Wednesday, focusing on energy cooperation, defence, aviation and the war in Ukraine. Pellegrini highlighted opportunities for closer cooperation in nuclear energy, including potential French nuclear fuel supplies, and called for changes to electricity pricing to reduce its dependence on expensive natural gas.
The presidents also discussed cooperation in the aviation industry, following the signing of a contract for three French-made helicopters for Slovakia's police and rescue services. On Ukraine, Pellegrini stressed the need for a diplomatic solution and greater EU involvement in peace negotiations. The two leaders also addressed protecting young people from the negative effects of social media and digital technologies.
