Having been formed following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993, Slovakia is one of the world’s youngest countries (it celebrated its 23rd birthday on January 1st  this year) but has come a long way in a short space of time and is now a eurozone  country with a population of over 5 million people.

It remains a close partner of the Czech Republic, as well as Poland and Hungary, as members of the Visegrad Group, set up to promote cooperation and European integration.

And after initially having a frosty relationship with the European Union (EU) and NATO, things eventually thawed out as the country underwent economic reform and it joined both organisations in 2004.

The country now has one of the fastest growth rates in the European Union and OECD – so if you’ve got business interests over there, you’ll want an easy and convenient way to keep in touch.

And a conference call offers exactly that, needing nothing more than a landline or mobile phone.

Here’s how to set one up…

Singapore sits just off the southern tip of the Malay peninsula, and although it’s a relatively small city-state, it’s incredibly wealthy – it’s the world’s fourth largest global financial centre – operates an open and trade driven economy and is a leading global business hub.

It’s location not only puts it at the point where the major east and west shipping lanes converge, it also means 50% of the world’s population can fly there within six hours.

If you’re trading with Singapore, it’s worth having a cost-effective and reliable international conference call provider – so here’s how to set up a call in a few simple steps…

The UK currently has over 4,000 registered companies active in Romania, and is currently the country’s tenth highest foreign investor with total investment worth around £4 billion.

Since Romania joined the EU – along with Bulgaria – as part of the 2007 enlargement of the European Union, bilateral trade has grown consistently and reached a record value of £2.6 billion in 2011, with £1.1 billion worth of exports to Romania and £1.5 billion worth of imports.

The UK exported around £16 billion worth of good to Romania in 2013, accounting for just over 2% of Romanian imports.

The UK’s top exports to Romania included:

• machinery and electrical parts
• textiles and clothing
• chemical products
• vehicles, aircraft and transport equipment
• base metals
• plastics

So if you’re thinking of joining investing in a business opportunity in Romania – or you already have interests over there –  you’ll want a simple and cost-effective way to keep in touch with colleagues or clients over there – and a conference call offers exactly that.
