§ Mr. SoamesMy noble Friend the Under-Secretary of State for Defence visited Slovakia in August. During informal discussions, the then Slovak Defence Minister proposed a range of areas for closer bilateral defence co-operation, in the context of partnership for peace; including opportunities for low flying. We are looking closely at those proposals.
