Manila, March 11 -- Slovenian Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon on Tuesday expressed support to the Philippines' bid for a non-permanent seat at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

"We are a non-permanent member of the Security Council (we are) strongly committed to international law, to UN Charter, to human rights, and we share those values together with the Philippines," she said in a joint presser with Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo in Manila.

"We are also fully supportive to the candidacy of the Philippines to the Security Council in the near future," she added.

Like in Manila, Fajon said the promotion and respect of international law is of "extreme importance" to Ljubljana.
