Robert Maxion, Ambassador of Slovakia, met with Maharashtra Governor CP Radhakrishnan on October 25 at Raj Bhavan in Mumbai. During their goodwill meeting, Maxion highlighted Slovakia’s status as the world's largest car manufacturing nation, producing vehicles from brands like Hyundai, Volkswagen, Jaguar, and Land Rover in substantial quantities.
Ambassador Maxion also discussed Slovakia's management of urban wastewater systems in over 200 locations across China, with plans to extend cooperation to India in this area. He noted that the Indian film "Chehre," starring Amitabh Bachchan, was filmed in Slovakia, which has enhanced tourism in the region. Maxion expressed a strong interest in attracting more Indian filmmakers to Slovakia for similar projects.

Describing Slovakia as a nature-rich country known for its historical castles, skiing resorts, spas, and clean air, Maxion encouraged Indian tourists to explore the country. In response, Governor Radhakrishnan proposed inviting filmmakers to Raj Bhavan for discussions on film projects in Slovakia. Additionally, the Governor suggested that Slovakia could strengthen its bond with India by organizing exhibition football matches, given the sport's growing popularity in India.
The meeting was also attended by Maxion's wife, Yana Maksianova, and Amit Choksi, the Honorary Consul of Slovakia in Mumbai.
