[Tone Kajzer @TKajzer]

It is important that foreign policy — especially the foreign policy of smaller countries — maintains continuity in its strategic priorities: security and prosperity for Slovenia, 🇸🇮 as well as credibility vis-à-vis our 🇪🇺 partners and allies. NATO

Slovenia is firmly committed to the rules-based international order and will always support international law as the foundation for security and stability in international 🌎 relations . 👇

Na forumu se bo nadaljeval drugi del Posveta gospodarske diplomacije, kjer bodo gospodarski svetovalci podjetjem na voljo za poslovna srečanja ter za svetovanje o vstopu na tuje trge in podporo pri poslovanju v 82 državah po 🌍 svetu. #SGF2026

[Tone Kajzer @TKajzer]

Gospodarska diplomacija, ki je fokusirana na konkretno podporo 🇸🇮 podjetjem je naša skupna prioriteta. Ne samo za ekonomske svetovalke/svetovalce, ki to delo predano opravljajo za 🇸🇮 povsod po 🌎 na operativni ravni, ampak tudi za vse 🇸🇮 veleposlanike/veleposlanice. Prosperiteto za 🇸🇮 zagotavljamo skozi močno in konkurenčno gospodarstvo, ki je, ob učinkovitem javnem servisu, naš motor za razvoj in blaginjo vseh nas. #GospodarskaDiplomacija @MZEZ_RS

“Moja vizija je proaktivna, pragmatična in verodostojna diplomacija, ki interese Slovenije postavlja na prvo mesto. Prednostne naloge @vladaRS so varnost države, blaginja državljanov ter konkretni rezultati za gospodarstvo, znanost in družbo. Cilj je jasen: diplomacijo še tesneje povezati s potrebami gospodarstva in znanosti, okrepiti mednarodni položaj 🇸🇮 ter povečati konkurenčnost slovenskega gospodarstva.” - @Tkajzer

Slovenia 🇸🇮 strongly condemn Hamas terrorist attack in #Israel Our thoughts are with the victims and their families. Peace can’t be achieved with violence and terror. Peace can only be achieved through dialogue and the rejection of terror and hatred. @gidonsaar

[Tone Kajzer @TKajzer]

Pomembno je, da zunanja politika – zlasti zunanja politika manjših držav – ohranja kontinuiteto pri svojih strateških prioritetah: varnosti in blaginji za Slovenijo, 🇸🇮 ter verodostojnosti v odnosu do naših partnerjev in zaveznikov. NATO

Slovenija je trdno zavezana mednarodnemu redu, ki temelji na pravilih, in bo vedno podpirala mednarodno pravo kot temelj varnosti in stabilnosti v mednarodnih 🌎 odnosih.

In a telephone conversation with Italy’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation @Antonio_Tajani 🇮🇹, Minister @TKajzer reaffirmed the friendly and allied relations between the two neighboring 🇪🇺 countries, #Slovenia 🇸🇮 and #Italy 🇮🇹.

The ministers briefly discussed current 🇪🇺 & international issues that will soon be addressed by the #EU Foreign Affairs Council. They reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening bilateral cooperation, with particular emphasis on cross-border cooperation & highlighted the importance of both minority communities in creating synergies related to economic and investment cooperation, as well as scientific and technological collaboration between the two countries. 🤝

The ministers agreed to hold a bilateral meeting in the near future. 🇸🇮 🇮🇹 🇪🇺

Minister @TKajzer 🇸🇮 je v telefonskem pogovoru z italijanskim ministrom za zunanje zadeve & mednarodno sodelovanje @Antonio_Tajani 🇮🇹 potrdil prijateljske in zavezniške odnose med 🇪🇺 sosedama #Slovenija 🇸🇮 in #Italija 🇮🇹.

Ministra sta se na kratko dotaknila aktualnih 🇪🇺 & mednarodnih tem, ki jih bo kmalu obravnaval Svet za zunanje zadeve #EU. Pri tem sta potrdila zavezanost krepitvi dvostranskega in posebej čezmejnega sodelovanja & izpostavila pomen obeh manjšin pri ustvarjanju sinergij vezano na gospodarsko in investicijsko ter znanstveno in tehnološko sodelovanje med državama. 🤝

Ministra sta se dogovorila za skorajšnje bilateralno srečanje. 🇸🇮 🇮🇹 🇪🇺

@DrSJaishankar Excellency Dear Minister, thank you for your kind words. I hope that you will be able to visit Slovenia 🇸🇮 soon and I am confident that we will deepen our friendship and cooperation in many areas. 🇸🇮 🇮🇳 @MZEZ_RS @india_mea @Amit_Narang @SLOinIND

Welcome to the new 🇸🇮 Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, @TKajzer, a long-serving career diplomat.

In his presentation to the 🇸🇮 National Assembly, he highlighted the importance of a proactive, pragmatic and credible foreign policy – strengthening relations with neighbouring countries and Central Europe, supporting the transatlantic alliance, promoting security and prosperity, and reinforcing #Slovenia’s international standing.

We look forward to working together to advance these priorities and further strengthen Slovenia’s role in the #EU, @NATO and the wider international community.

We wish him success in his new role.

🇸🇮 Slovenija ostaja trdna zagovornica širitve Evropske unije, zlasti na države Zahodnega Balkana.

Širitev je trenutno visoko na politični agendi Evropske unije, vendar formalni postopki zaradi birokratskih omejitev in zahtevnih demokratičnih procesov napredujejo počasneje, kot bi si številni želeli.

[Tone Kajzer @TKajzer]

Zaviranje oz onemogočanje sodelovanja na področju gospodarstva/turizma med 🇸🇮 in 🇮🇱 povzroča neposredno gospodarsko škodo za 🇸🇮 gospodarstvo, in predstavlja kršitev dvostranskih sporazumov med državama. Zato je minister @JernejVrtovec nemudoma odpravil prepoved za lete med 🇮🇱 in 🇸🇮 kar sem že včeraj v pogovoru sporočil kolegu iz 🇮🇱 zunanjemu ministru @gidonsaar @SLOinISR @MZEZ_RS @IsraelMFA

[Jernej Vrtovec @JernejVrtovec]

Kar sem napovedal, sem takoj po prevzemu poslov tudi storil. Prevoznik Israir ima znova dovoljenje za lete med Tel Avivom in Ljubljano.

As announced, I acted immediately upon assuming office. The airline Israir has once again been granted authorization to operate flights between Tel Aviv and Ljubljana.

[Vlada Republike Slovenije @vladaRS]

Predsednik vlade 🇸🇮 @JJansaSDS je ob robu Vrha EU - Zahodni Balkan opravil številne neformalne pogovore.

Med drugim s predsednikom Evropskega sveta 🇪🇺 @eucopresident, nemškim kanclerjem 🇩🇪@bundeskanzler, predsednikom vlade Belgije 🇧🇪@Bart_DeWever in Malte 🇲🇹 @RobertAbela_MT.

Slovenija bo v tem mandatu močna in kredibilna članica Evropske unije, ki zna povezovati in sodelovati z vsemi evropskimi partnerji.
