Slovakian Foreign Minister Miroslav Lajčák arrived in Cairo on Saturday for a visit that he hopes will shore up support for his bid for UN secretary-general, MENA agency reported.
Lajčák will meet with Egyptian officials, including Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, seeking Egypt's support for his bid for the UN's top job.
The Slovakian foreign minister will also discuss bilateral relations with Shoukry.
The elections to choose the ninth UN general-secretary will be held later this year as current UN general-secretary Ban Ki-moon is going to conclude his term on 31 December.
