Minister Fajon: Strategic partnership with the US remains a key priority for Slovenia

Tanja Fajon, Slovenian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, congratulated President-elect Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and all congressmen, governors and senators, including two of Slovenian origin, Amy Klobuchar and Paul Gosnar.

As Minister Fajon said after the US presidential elections, Slovenia will always work with the United States as a close ally "with which we are strengthening our partnership. In the face of major geopolitical challenges, conflicts and wars, we want to work with the US on the basis of solidarity, human rights, international law and democracy." She added that the strategic partnership with the US remains a key priority for Slovenia, especially at a time when the country is dealing with really difficult conflicts and challenges in the Security Council.

"Good partnership cooperation also means having different political views. This is why honest dialogue is very important," said Ms Fajon, adding that "Slovenia's visit to the White House has confirmed that it is a key interlocutor for the US when it comes to the Western Balkans, and we believe that this will continue to be the case in the future."
