Bratislava (Slovakia), 27 (Agência Brasil - ABr) - President Fernando Henrique Cardoso said that in a meeting he had Tuesday with the president of Slovakia, Rudolf Schuster, in the capital city of Bratislava, they not only discussed trade and economic relations between the two nations, but also addressed political matters. This should result in greater political understanding.
