In his speech, Fico emphasized that he accepted the invitation to participate in the parade on the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, which will take place on September 3 in Beijing. Robert Fico is the only leader from the European Union countries who will be present there. President Fico stated that he would have meetings with the leaders of China and Russia in Beijing during the military parade on September 3.
I want to reiterate that there will be bilateral meetings in Beijing with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and other statesmen.
Fico criticized the EU's position on the parade in Beijing, as, in his opinion, it is necessary to participate in the processes of "forming a new multipolar world order."
The Slovak Prime Minister also commented that it is necessary to take advantage of the opportunity to communicate with world leaders in Beijing.
If there is an opportunity in Beijing, in addition to commemorating the victims of the war, to meet with world leaders, it should be used. There will be heads of state representing billions of people. There will be heads of state who have their own opinions, perhaps right, perhaps wrong, but opinions that need to be heard and respected.
After returning home, the Slovak Prime Minister will have a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. According to Fico, the meeting will take place this Friday, September 5.
After returning from Beijing, I plan to go to eastern Slovakia for a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
