Slovak president discusses cyber security in Israel

During his visit to Israel, Slovak President Andrej Kiska spoke with the Israeli President Reuven Rivlin about intensifying bilateral cooperation in the field of cyber safety. At a news conference following the meeting at the Israeli president's residence in Jerusalem, Kiska said that the talks were aimed at Russia, Turkey and the bilateral relationship. "Israel is our partner, Israel is our friend, but first of all, it's a country that might be an inspiration to us in many things. It's a country that is almost the same size as ours, but, unlike ours, it's a real centre for innovation and the latest achievements in terms of science and start-ups. Twelve Nobel Prize laureates have come from Israel, and Tel Aviv has been declared the most innovative city in the world," stated Kiska. During his visit to Israel, the Slovak president handed over a state award in memoriam to Aaron Grünhut, the so called "Slovak Schindler". Grünhut was originally from Bratislava and during the Second World War he saved more than 1,300 people from the former Slovakia, Czech Republic and neighbouring countries.
