You must be massively mistaken and misled comprehensively to believe that ambassador Kombo can be placed in the same level as Supremo Sergei Lavrov.

Sarah Paine - Why continental empires always bleed
View: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OS1NZLgKM2c
In this lecture, military historian Sarah Paine lays out the geopolitical framework that has shaped global power for two thousand years: the divide between continental empires that pursue security through territorial conquest (China, Russia) and maritime powers that pursue prosperity through trade (Britain, the US). Recorded first in Paine's 2025 series, this is the framework that all her other lectures build on.𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒

Bratislava/Dar es Salaam, 12 June 2026
– The largest-ever Slovak delegation of companies and institutions, which accompanied the Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic, Juraj Blanár, on his working visit to East Africa, also presented its technological solutions, innovations and expertise in Tanzania. The head of Slovak diplomacy said that the Slovak-Tanzanian Business Forum in the capital, Dar es Salaam, held on Thursday, 11 June 2026, confirmed the strong interest of both sides in cooperation.
“Slovak companies have a great deal to offer in areas that are among Tanzania’s development priorities – from energy and water management to healthcare and modern technologies, as well as agriculture and the food industry. Connecting Slovak experience with the needs of the local market can create space for a long-term and mutually beneficial partnership,” said Minister Blanár.
The forum, held on the occasion of the official opening of the first-ever Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Dar es Salaam, was opened by the foreign ministers of the Slovak Republic, Juraj Blanár, and the United Republic of Tanzania, Mahmoud Thabit Kombo.
“The countries of the Global South represent more than 60 percent of the world’s population and 60 percent of total GDP. These are countries with the greatest potential for economic growth today. Tanzania itself has growth of around 5 percent, while the EU stands at 1.1 percent. That is why we want to be present on the African market, so that we can be part of this growth and diversify our trade activities,” emphasised J. Blanár, adding that Slovakia’s trade with the European Union currently accounts for 80 percent of the country’s total trade volume.
The aim is therefore to expand activities into other regions as well, including the Global South, Africa and the Indo-Pacific, where Slovakia is strengthening its economic diplomacy.
The Slovak foreign minister highlighted Tanzania, with more than 70 million inhabitants, as one of the largest markets in the region. Thanks to its strategic location on the Indian Ocean and the logistically important port city of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania also serves as a trade gateway to several countries in East and Southern Africa.
“There is great scope for cooperation here, and that is why, through Slovak diplomacy, we want to open up these opportunities for concrete projects that will benefit both Slovakia and Tanzania. However, this is, so to speak, a long-distance run, because we must first introduce ourselves here and expand the activities we are already carrying out today, for example in development cooperation, and build trade relations step by step in order to gain trust. The new Slovak embassy in Tanzania will help with this,” Juraj Blanár explained.
According to him, it is therefore important that the business delegation also included representatives of the Slovak Export-Import Bank, EXIMBANKA, and the Slovak Investment and Trade Development Agency, SARIO, which was the main organiser of the business forum together with the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic and the Tanzania Private Sector Federation.
On this occasion, the head of Slovak diplomacy also praised the activities and service to Slovakia of the Honorary Consul of the Slovak Republic in Zanzibar, Moustafa Hassanali Khataw.
“He not only takes care of the development of trade relations with Tanzania, but also assists us with consular services for citizens of the Slovak Republic, who are increasingly discovering Tanzania as a tourist destination – especially the island of Zanzibar, where there is potential for further development. This could be supported during the season by a direct air connection between Slovakia and the island, which I also discussed with the Tanzanian minister,” Minister J. Blanár said.
The business delegation accompanying the Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic on his working visit to Kenya and Tanzania consisted of 35 Slovak companies and institutions active in energy, digitalisation, healthcare, information technology, agriculture, water management, the defence industry, modern solutions and innovation. It also included representatives of the Slovak Investment and Trade Development Agency, SARIO, and the Export-Import Bank of the Slovak Republic, EXIMBANKA.
The Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic, Juraj Blanár, paid a working visit to Kenya and Tanzania from 8 to 12 June 2026, focused on developing the political, economic and development partnerships of the Slovak Republic in East Africa. After arriving in Kenya, Minister Juraj Blanár handed over humanitarian aid to the Kenyan Red Cross, thereby confirming the Slovak Republic’s interest in continuing development and humanitarian cooperation with Kenya.
In Nairobi on Tuesday, 9 June 2026, he opened the Slovak-Kenyan Business and Development Forum with the participation of the largest-ever Slovak business mission to sub-Saharan Africa. The programme in Kenya also included meetings with the Vice-President of Kenya, Kithure Kindiki, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Masika Wetangula, as well as talks with the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations and Director-General of the United Nations Office at Nairobi, Zainab Hawa Bangura, and with the leadership of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme.
The working visit programme continued on Wednesday, 10 June 2026, with the presentation of awards marking the conclusion of the second year of the CyberGame Kenya cybersecurity competition, support for RefuSHE Kenya, an organisation dedicated to education and the development of digital skills among young refugee women and vulnerable girls, as well as St Philip Neri School in Joska, one of the most successful SlovakAid projects in Africa.
After completing the programme in Nairobi, the head of Slovak diplomacy travelled to Tanzania on the evening of Wednesday, 10 June 2026. The following day, he held talks with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation, Mahmoud Thabit Kombo, officially opened the Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Dar es Salaam, took part in the Slovak-Tanzanian Business Forum and met representatives of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO.
