Queen Máxima speaks at the UN about 'financial health'. But on behalf of whom? She is appointed by the UN Secretary-General; no one has chosen her to speak on behalf of citizens. Meanwhile, people notice at the checkout, when paying rent, and at the pump how difficult it is to remain financially healthy. Inflation, rising housing and fuel costs, and political choices weigh heavily on their budget. Then I do not want beautiful words about financial health, but an answer to the question of who helps reduce those burdens. (translated)

The Prime Minister of Slovenia 🇸🇮 @JJansaSDS met on the sidelines of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly in New York with the Prime Minister of Israel 🇮🇱 @netanyahu, among other bilateral meetings. The meeting took place during a time of enhanced political dialogue between the two countries. The relations between Slovenia and Israel have traditionally been friendly since Slovenia's independence, regardless of the events in the Middle East. They only deteriorated during the previous government, which caused significant economic and political damage to Slovenia. During this term, the two countries have already taken concrete steps to strengthen political, economic, scientific, and technological cooperation. The two speakers expressed satisfaction with the normalization of relations and committed to further enhancing them through concrete projects. They paid special attention to science and research, artificial intelligence and advanced technologies, economic cooperation, investments, and tourism. Artificial intelligence, high technologies, defense, research, and investment connections are areas where the two countries recognize great potential for increased cooperation in the recent period. The Prime Ministers agreed that good political relations need to be transformed into new opportunities for businesses, research institutions, investors, and citizens of both countries and to promote direct connections between people. Slovenia and Israel have a wealth of knowledge, experience, and entrepreneurial potential. We are creating conditions in which this potential can connect and grow into concrete results for the benefit of both countries and their citizens. The meeting confirmed a mutual interest in a new, more ambitious period of Slovenian-Israeli cooperation, focused on knowledge, innovation, economic growth, and strengthening direct ties between the two countries.
