Foreign Minister Miro Cerar addressed an event at the Foreign Ministry ahead of Slovenian Diplomacy Day, 22 May, saying that Slovenian diplomacy as a whole functioned well. He finds it important that Slovenian diplomacy is responsive, that it adapts itself creatively to new circumstances and recognises new opportunities. Cerar told Slovenian diplomats and members of the diplomatic corps that diplomats were no longer dealing only with standard political, security and geo-strategic topics.
On this day, twenty-three years ago, the diverse activities undertaken by Slovenian diplomats resulted in UN General Assembly Resolution No. 46/236, and the Republic of Slovenia joined the United Nations. As this step was the culmination of united, persistent and professional diplomatic endeavours, 22 May is symbolically celebrated as Slovenian Diplomacy Day.
