Further development of the Slovak – Canadian relations, cooperation in the field of modernization of the armed forces and current security challenges – these were the issues raised during the discussion between the State Secretary of the SVK MOD Miloš Koterec and chargé d’affaires of Canada Cathy Bunka.
The State Secretary projected the possibility of the cooperation between the both countries in the future. “I highly appreciate the contribution of Canada in Ukraine. In the future, cooperation between the V4 countries and Canada might focus on this particular region,” he said.
“I am quite positive that Canada would welcome such proposal,” ascertained Cathy Bunka. She appreciated the fact that Slovakia, in the context of the security situation in Europe, has decided to bolster the budget of the Defence Department for the upcoming year. “It is the field of defence where we see a potential space for a further development of relations between our countries. In the view of the current situation, modernization of the armed forces is regarded as the crucial step,” she added.
In the context of the Monday meeting, the new Defence Attaché of Canada Pascal Demers will be received by the top officials of the Ministry of Defence and the Slovak Armed Forces.
