This event marked the culmination of a six-month-long presentation of Slovakia at this prestigious international exhibition.

"EXPO is about shaping the future, and Slovakia has entered it as a confident partner. The six-month presentation in Osaka proved that our country has much to offer – from cultural values to innovative solutions for a sustainable society," said Matej Fekete, Director General of SLOVAKIA TRAVEL.

The head of the national tourism promotion organisation also emphasized that Slovakia's presentation proved that our country can capture the world's attention with its culture, innovations and approach to sustainability.

"We have something to be proud of and I believe that we will present the beauties of our country in Belgrade in two years.

I will be happy if in the future we will present unique people and products from Slovakia at prestigious international events of this kind at the world forum," said President of Slovakia Peter Pellegrini.

The President also thanked all those involved in preparing Slovakia's presentation.
