Bratislava, December 7 (TASR) - The ambassadors designate of the Sovereign Order of Maltese Knights, South Korea, Canada and El Salvador presented their credentials to Slovak President Ivan Gasparovic in Bratislava on Monday.
Francis Martin O'Donnel (the Maltese Knights), Seo Seok-Soong (South Korea), Valerie Raymond (Canada) and Vanessa Tobar (El Salvador) visited the President's Office at the Grassalkovich Palace in the Slovak capital.
O'Donnel extended greetings from the Maltese Order's Grand Master Matthew Festing to the Slovak head of state, expressing the desire to hold bilateral talks.
In talks with Seo Seok-Soong from South Korea, Gasparovic voiced his wish to further enhance ties in the fields of culture, science, education and tourism as well as to bolster multilateral co-operation in international institutions, notably the United Nations.
Speaking to Valerie Raymond of Canada, Gasparovic praised her country for cancelling the visa requirement for Slovaks and expressed his hope that Canada will do the same for the Czech Republic.
At his meeting with El Salvador's Vanessa Tobar, Gasparovic said that her mission to Slovakia is of great importance as co-operation between the two countries is tiny and needs to be intensified in all areas, notably in farming, energy, water and the wood-processing industries.
