斯洛伐克共和國
位於東歐的內陸國家,前身是捷克斯洛伐克,於1993年和平分離成捷克和斯洛伐克兩個獨立國家。和捷克、波蘭一樣,斯洛伐克是烏克蘭最堅定的支持者之一,有超過50萬名烏克蘭難民進入到斯洛伐克,而斯洛伐克也為這些人提供超過1,320萬歐元的補貼。斯洛伐克也與捷克簽署雙邊協議,斯洛伐克先將國內的米格戰機提供給烏克蘭,然後捷克派空軍保護斯洛伐克領空,直到斯洛伐克收到向美國訂購的新戰鬥機為止,由此可看出捷克和斯洛伐克的關係非常緊密。然而斯洛伐克本身也深受俄烏戰爭影響,該國的天然氣和石油大多仰賴俄羅斯供應,斯洛伐克經濟部長估計2023年該國能源價格將會上漲34%到59%之間。如何改善國內通膨問題,是斯洛伐克接下來的難題。現任斯洛伐克政府相當友台,近兩年雙方互相派遣參訪團,斯洛伐克更是台灣第一個簽署商事法合作協議的歐盟國家。
看2022Year Founded: 1993
A land-locked Eastern European state, the Slovak Republic was formerly part of Czechoslovakia which was later peacefully dissolved into two independent countries -- the Czech Republic and Slovakia, in 1993. The two states still maintain friendly relations. A socialist republic during the Cold War, Slovakia made a smooth transition into a free-market economy state. Its GDP per capita and its score on the Human Development Index both rank among the top 45 countries in the world. In recent years, the state went through the active process of decommunization and has poor relations with Russia. In 2021, the Slovakia National Council passed a proposal to support Taiwan joining the WHA and also voiced their approval of the Czech Senate Speaker's visit to Taiwan, an indication that its ties with Taiwan are getting better and better.
