State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic, Marek Eštok, addressed the 55th session of the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council in Geneva today (28 February 2024), attended by more than a hundred representatives of states and international organisations. The State Secretary also addressed the Conference on Disarmament, held on the same day at the UN Headquarters in Switzerland. This was the first time in five years that a high-ranking official representing Slovakia had attended both meetings in person.

Thirty-one years ago, an independent Slovak Republic was admitted to the United Nations (UN) as a full member. On 19 January 2024, in commemoration of the anniversary of Slovakia's accession to the United Nations, the Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic, Juraj Blanár, stressed the importance of Slovakia's inclusion in the international organisation, which currently associates 193 countries of the world.

On 13 November 2023, the Government of the Slovak Republic approved its manifesto.
