Recently, the Embassy of South Africa in Vienna, accredited to the Slovak Republic, participated in South Africa Day at the University of Economics in Bratislava under the theme “South Africa: A World in One Country.”

The programme brought together students, academics and partners for a day of engagement focused on South Africa, covering its history, geography, cultural diversity, economy, tourism offerings and international relations and partnerships.

Participants heard perspectives on South Africa’s geopolitical and economic importance, including contributions from the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic, as well as experts in tourism and business. The programme provided students with an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of South Africa and the longstanding friendship between South Africa and Slovakia.

A memorable highlight of the day was seeing students try their hand at South African gumboot dancing, experiencing an iconic expression of South Africa’s rich cultural heritage.

The Embassy values opportunities such as these to promote mutual understanding and strengthen ties between South Africa and Slovakia.

Our thanks to the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic and the University of Economics in Bratislava (.sk) for their partnership and support.
