As written in the introduction by Tanja Fajon, Minister of Foreign and European Affairs: ”Slovenia–a young state reaching for the stars–is a proud member of the EU, NATO, and the OECD, with close ties to the international community. The drive to explore global opportunities has a long tradition in our national history. Our economy is strongly export-driven, and we are deeply committed to globalising it further. Recently, I led business delegations to Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, the Republic of Korea, and Vietnam. We held Mixed Commissions for Economic Cooperation with China and Egypt. New opportunities emerge as Slovenia as-sumes its non-permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council, putting us at the table alongside the world’s most influential and powerful nations for a two-year term.
We are committed to the green and digital transition. Currently, Slovenia is the third most industrialised country in the EU by industry share and GDP and is a major cog in the global automotive sector. Virtually every car in the world contains at least one part manufactured in Slovenia. We traditionally invest in the circular economy, sustainable tourism, robotics and digitalisation, space, and creative industries. Slovenian products embody the quality of Germany, the design of Italy, and the expertise of Slovenia. This is crucial since mass production is not our goal due to our size and commitment to sustainability. However, we can be an excel-lent collaborator in creating new, innovative, and niche products. We boast a skilled workforce in an ideal geostrategic position in Central and Eastern Europe, making it an excellent location for travel as well."
