Minister za zunanje in evropske zadeve @TKajzer je s srečanjem z nekdanjo MZEZ @tfajon zaključil primopredajo poslov vodenja @MZEZ_RS 🇸🇮.

"Zunanja politika, še posebej pri manjših državah, mora temeljiti na kontinuiteti in imeti vedno pred očmi nacionalne interese, ki so naša prednostna naloga, ter ustvarjanje konkretnih koristi za naše državljane in 🇸🇮gospodarstvo."

Minister Kajzer se je nekdanji MZEZ Fajon zahvalil za vse, kar je bilo v preteklem mandatu narejeno dobrega, kljub nekaterim različnim pogledom, in ji zaželel veliko uspehov na njeni nadaljnji poklicni in osebni poti.

Congratulations to 🇦🇹, 🇰🇬, 🇵🇹, 🇹🇹 & 🇿🇼 as newly elected non-permanent members of the #UNSC 🇺🇳 for the 2027-2028 term 👏.

In an ever more polarizing 🌍, maintaining international peace and security & upholding #UN Charter is vital.

🇸🇮 showed that small states’ voice matters.

[Slovenia to the UN @SLOtoUN]

Congratulations to all candidates in today’s #UNSC election.

Special congratulations to Portugal, Austria, Kyrgyzstan, Trinidad and Tobago, and Zimbabwe on their election to the Council.

The challenges ahead are immense, but so is our confidence in your ability to meet them.

[Tanja Fajon @tfajon]

Čestitke kandidatu za ministra za zunanje in evropske zadeve @TKajzer za opravljeno zaslišanje v @Drzavnizbor.

Za 🇸🇮 ni alternative; ostati mora zavezana multilateralizmu, mednarodnemu pravu in Ustanovni listini #OZN 🇺🇳.

Želim vam uspešno delo!

#Slovenia welcomes decision of #Hungary to remain State Party of the #RomeStatute.

Establishment of @IntlCrimCourt was a significant achievement by the international community.

#ICC is a key international institution for ensuring international justice, fostering the rule of law, and safeguarding international peace & security.

🇸🇮 Slovenia condemns in strongest possible terms yet another reckless behaviour of Russia that caused injuries of civilians and damage to civilian housing in 🇷🇴 Romania. Slovenia expresses full solidarity with Romania and stands firmly with all Allies in the defence of the Alliance's territory.

Ob kurban bajramu vsem pripadnicam in pripadnikom islamske skupnosti v Sloveniji izrekam miren in blagoslovljen praznik.

Naj praznik prinese toplino, povezanost in upanje ter okrepi vrednote spoštovanja in medsebojnega razumevanja.

Bajram šerif mubarek olsun!

[MFEA Slovenia @MZEZ_RS]

#Slovenia condemns in the strongest possible terms the latest hypersonic and other ballistic missiles & drone attacks against #Ukraine.

Deliberate attacks against civilians & civilian infrastructure, as well as diplomatic representations are utterly unacceptable and constitute a blatant violation of international law.

We stand firmly with the victims, their families, and all those affected by this brutal aggression.

✨🇸🇮 22. maj – Dan slovenske diplomacije

Foto utrinke in pomembne trenutke slovenske diplomacije v 🇺🇳 iz zadnjih 34 let smo s pomočjo umetne inteligence osvežili.

Še naprej bomo predano, strokovno in ponosno predstavljali Slovenijo v 🌍

Access to #Gaza must be improved and international visits to Israeli detention centers must be allowed without delay.

[Tanja Fajon @tfajon]

Appalling, shocking & utterly unacceptable.

No country should be ‘welcoming’ people with torture.

Humiliating behavior, demonstrated by the minister Gvir & Israeli Authorities at the #GlobalSumudFlotilla has no place in a democratic society.
