The Slovak minister held discussions with Touhid Hossain, the Adviser for Foreign Affairs to the Interim government of Bangladesh. According to the post, they focused on strengthening bilateral relations and enhancing multilateral cooperation. "Slovakia is an active member of several significant international organisations, and we're interested in participating in the shaping of global politics, contributing to stability, peace, and security. In this context, I've requested support for our candidacy for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council from Bangladesh as well," stated the head of Slovak diplomacy.
