Slovenia Weekly: Synergy for cooperation

This year's World Bee Day, celebrated on Tuesday, highlighted the essential role of pollinators in the ecosystem restoration, biodiversity preservation and food security. The Golden Bee Award, presented by Slovenia for the fifth time, aims to encourage progress, support innovation and recognise individuals or businesses, who have made an important contribution to the advancement of bee-related research. The award also serves to promote World Bee Day, observed on 20 May, which was declared by the United Nations in 2017 following a Slovenian initiative. The first observance took place in 2018.

Uzbekistan represents a strategic gateway to a dynamically developing Central Asian region, seeking technologically advanced and sustainable solutions – areas where Slovenia holds a competitive advantage. Uzbekistan regards Slovenia as one of its most important partners within the European Union. Both the Prime Minister and the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan expressed a strong interest in strengthening mutual cooperation in science, research, culture, labour and education.
