Slovenian Political Figure Promises Enhanced Taiwan Ties

Former Prime Minister Outlines Plans for Reciprocal Representation and Deeper Bilateral Engagement

A prominent Slovenian political figure has expressed a commitment to strengthening ties with Taiwan, outlining potential actions should his party gain a majority in upcoming elections.

Speaking during an international forum held in Taipei, the former leader indicated that establishing reciprocal representative offices in Taipei and Ljubljana would be a priority. Efforts to achieve this during a previous term were unsuccessful due to the constraints of a minority government.

The political figure emphasized the speed with which these initiatives could be implemented if his party secures a clear electoral mandate in the 2026 parliamentary elections. The goal is to elevate the relationship to a level comparable to Slovenia's Central European partners.

In addition to political and diplomatic connections, the leader also proposed fostering greater collaboration in sports and cultural exchange programs. This includes highlighting recent appointments, and discussing potential areas for cultural cooperation.

The statements were made during an event focused on promoting international partnerships and exploring innovative approaches to various global challenges. The forum brought together representatives from across the region to discuss strategies for digital transformation and sustainable development.
