Slovakia and Israel also signed a $180 million defense deal in January to purchase 17 radar systems produced by Israel Aerospace Industries.
The foreign Minister of Slovakia, Ivan Korcok, announced on Wednesday the opening of the Slovak Institute in Jerusalem on Sept. 1.
“Slovakia is deepening relations with #Israel,” Korcok wrote on Twitter. He added that Slovakia continues to support the resumption of peace talks to reach a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Israeli Foreign Minister and Alternate Prime Minister Yair Lapid responded, also via Twitter, saying “your important decision” to open the institute “is a symbol of your friendship and it will serve to strengthen the relations between our countries.”
Thank you minister @IvanKorcok for your important decision to open the Slovak Institute in Jerusalem. This step is a symbol of your friendship and it will serve to strengthen the relations between our countries.
