Bratislava, February 10 (TASR) - Slovak President Ivan Gasparovic on Wednesday presented credentials to Ambassador Designate to China Frantisek Dlhopolcek and Ambassador Designate to Kuwait Ivan Lancaric at a ceremony that was also attended by Foreign Affairs Minister Miroslav Lajcak.
Gasparovic noted that the diplomats will represent Slovakia in countries it has good relations with.
Turning to Dlhopolcek, he said: "Your role will be to ensure that our relations with China will continue to benefit both states." He further stated that the future embassador to China will be active in that country at a time when Slovakia needs to see its marketplace and business co-operation with this global power evolve.
With respect to Lancaric, the head of state expressed his belief that the new ambassador to Kuwait will represent Slovakia as a democratic country keen on dealing with issues surrounding the greater Middle East and strengthening stability and peace in the world.
