Narrative:

While climbing on profile both slats extended without being commanded. Confirmed visually. Complied with checklist. Airplane handled very well throughout entire flight. Decided to divert to a nearby airport; which has long runways and was close to where the event took place. Flaps retracted on their own through FL250. Approach and landing uneventful.
