Before the government's away-day meeting in Poltár and Veľký Krtíš, SVK Minister of Defence Peter Gajdoš visited the Training Centre Lešť. There, he was updated on the current usability of the unique training facility by exercising troops from home and abroad and on its modernisation by the director of the Centre, Peter Čokina.
“Our largest training centre provides excellent training conditions for soldiers as well as personnel from other security and rescue components. At the same time, it has been in high demand from foreign partners in the long term, which is, of course, to the benefit of Defence as a whole,” said Minister Peter Gajdoš. He emphasised that it is essential that the Training Centre Lešť provide as best training conditions in support of the components for the territorial defence of the Slovak Republic as possible. While in visit to the training area, he also met with soldiers of 5th Special Forces Regiment from Žilina and their Polish counterparts, just as they were practising marksmanship on a firing range at Lešť.
During his meeting with the Training Centre Lešt leadership, the head of the MOD acknowledged that he supports the annual gatherings of natives and fellow-countrymen from the abolished village of Lešť. The last one was held on Lešť Military District Training Area on 3 September, bringing together 130 people.
