Bratislava, 7 September (TASR) - President Peter Pellegrini left on Sunday for a working trip to Japan, which will take place on the occasion of the celebration of Slovakia's National Day at the World Expo 2025, the President Office's communications department told TASR on Sunday, adding that as part of the programme in Osaka, the Slovak head of state will attend the official opening ceremony.
"The working visit will begin in Tokyo, where the president is scheduled to meet with Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and then with representatives of the Japan business federation Keidanren," said the President's Office.
