The Republic of South Africa is one of our priority partners, Slovak Foreign Affairs Minister Jan Kubis stated at a press conference with his South African counterpart Nkosazana Clairice Dlamini Zuma in Bratislava. Both ministers want to intensify relations between their countries in political and economic areas. They are to confirm this interest in the fall of this year, when Bratislava is to host a forum of Slovak and South-African entrepreneurs and businessmen. Mr. Kubis and Ms. Zuma signed a memorandum on cooperation between the two foreign affairs ministries.
