The relations between the Slovak Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany are at an excellent level and in the future, they could cover even more projects in the field of defence – such was the result of a bilateral meeting of the SVK Defence Minister, Martin Glváč, and the Ambassador of Germany, Thomas Götz, held on 21 January. “I would be very glad, if co-operation in the field of military education, especially student exchange programmes, was reestablished,” briefed the SVK Defence Minister.
The Ambassador of Germany confirmed his interest in co-operation strengthening. “It is important that the connections be at various levels, including the military level, so that deploying your and our soldiers is more effective,” emphasized Thomas Götz.
