Slovak President Zuzana Čaputová is on her seventh official state visit, this time in Germany.

She was welcomed by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who said both countries have had the closest relationship in recent decades, as reported by the TASR newswire.
He also said Čaputová represents the still living hope, which people first acquired 30 years ago, when the Berlin Wall fell.
The Slovak president invited his counterpart to Slovakia on her visit. Later, Čaputová also met with Chancellor Angela Merkel.
