Last week, Ljubljana hosted the 8th international conference "Africa Day", which was organized by the Bled Strategic Forum, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Club of former Slovenian ambassadors. During the two days' event, over 300 international visitors discussed the future and perspectives of African-European relationships, and their collaboration – specifically in light of demographic changes, employment possibilities and migration patterns while taking into consideration the commitments and the goals of sustainable and inclusive growth. The introductory speeches were held by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Miro Cerar, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Gana, Mr. Mohammad Habibu Tijani, and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cape Verde, Mr. Luis Filipe Lopes Tavares (on photo with Mr. Verbič at the Mayor's reception). The VZMD President, Mr. Kristjan Verbič, met with the latter in the Cape Verde capital of Praia on the island of Santiago back in 2014 as a member of the "Mission for Growth" delegation. The VZMD has been taking part in international "Africa Day" conferences actively since the very inception of investo.TV (VIDEO from the 2nd conference in 2013) – specifically in terms of efforts regarding their international business-investor programs Invest to Slovenia – investo.si and International Investors' Network – investo.international.
At the invitation of the British-Slovenian Chamber of Commerce (BSCC), Mr. Verbič visited the "#Worldready – for Jobs of the Future" reception, during the visit of His Royal Highness The Prince Edward to Slovenia. Over 200 prominent guests, representatives of businesses, diplomacy, institutions and organizations, listened to the discussion regarding the profound importance of the informal education for the younger generations and its impact on the labor market. On this occasion, Mr. Verbič spoke with Prince Edward about the endeavors and potentials of the #Worldready initiative, which was established in 1956 by his father – His Royal Highness Prince Philip.
