Slovenia Weekly: Active role

According to Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon, Slovenia passed the test with flying colours. Her opinion is shared by foreign delegations, who praised Slovenia's operational efficiency, ingenuity and effectiveness, on the one hand, and our highly principled views, on the other. In September, Slovenia presided over the UN Security Council for the first time during its current non-permanent membership in the 2024–2025 term. Concluding its presidency on Monday, Slovenia passed the baton to Switzerland for the month of October.

Slovenia has been accepted into the prestigious D9+ group, which brings together digital frontrunners in the European Union. The D9+ group is a platform for cooperation between the countries leading the way in the digital transformation and technological innovation. Slovenia's membership in the group confirms the country's commitment to supporting the Digital Decade targets and objectives and promoting digital innovation, while also contributing to European resilience and competitiveness. By joining the D9+, Slovenia will continue to actively contribute to shaping Europe's digital future and will work towards joint projects and pilot initiatives that will boost digital innovation, growth and competitiveness.
