Minister Gajdoš meets with British Ambassador

In the Defence engagement between the SVK and UK Ministries of Defence and Armed Forces, the Slovak Republic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland have traditionally enjoyed very good longstanding relations, which are among the most active in the bilateral domain. Both sides expressed their interest in working together to further develop SVK-UK relations. Minister of Defence Peter Gajdoš and the British Ambassador to Slovakia, HE Mr Andrew John Garth, were clearly in agreement on that at today's meeting.

Head of the SVK MOD said: “As a sign of friendship we perceive the fact that despite the UK's announcement of BREXIT your support to our Presidency of the Council of the European Union was significant.” He also expressed his appreciation for the regular joint exercise “SLOVAK HAWK” held at Sliač, which is scheduled to take place this year too. Ambassador Garth extended an invitation for the Minister of Defence to participate in an international military tattoo bringing together military bands, which takes place in the United Kingdom.
