Together with Minister Jan Lipavský I met with Minister of State for Europe, North America and UK Overseas 🇬🇧 Stephen Doughty MP on the margins of #GLOBSEC. The #UkraineRussiaWar is a strategic partner of #Czechia and Europe in many areas including security.

🇨🇿 🤝 🇬🇧 Na okraj GLOBSEC jsem se spolu s ministrem Jan Lipavský setkal s ministrem pro Evropu Stephen Doughty MP. Spojené království je strategickým partnerem pro Česko i Evropu v mnoha oblastech včetně bezpečnosti.

The UK and Czechia have remained firm friends and allies since 🇨🇿 independence. Speaking to Jan Marian 🇨🇿 🇪🇺 and Jan Lipavský here in #Prague today during the GLOBSEC forum, we discussed our ever-strengthening partnership on security, trade, energy and culture. 🇬🇧 🤝 🇨🇿 🇪🇺

Amb. Bartuška on the recent statement of Mr. Podolyak: "The announcement that Ukraine will stop transiting Russian oil and gas has been heard repeatedly from 🇺🇦 officials over the past three years. Whatever the outcome this time, it will not be a problem for the Czech Republic!"

On August 30th 2024, we commemorate the 80th anniversary of the arrival of the 4000 men of the 1st Czechoslovak Independent Armoured Brigade in France. This brave unit played a key role in the Siege of Dunkirk and liberating Europe from Nazi occupation. #LestWeForget

Russia is seeking to systematically undermine our democratic institutions, economies, and security. We will stand united in our response. Spoke today about important steps we are taking with our partners inc NATO 🇨🇿🇪🇺🇲🇩 against Putin’s hybrid warfare at GLOBSEC in #Prague

Another Russian war crime in Ukraine. Over 40 dead and nearly 200 wounded civilians in Poltava show the need for the supply of anti-air and other weapons necessary for defence. Exercising its right to self-defence, Kiev can under the UN Charter attack military targets in Russia.

So wonderful to see this: "A new street in the Czech capital has been named after Nicholas Winton, who relentlessly cajoled and shamed immigration authorities to provide visas for 669 children, sparing them the horrors of the Holocaust." theguardian.com/world/article/…

My first trip to Central Europe in one minute: strengthening our relationships in #Prague 🇨🇿 🇪🇺 , #Ljubljana 🇸🇮 🇪🇺 and at two key forums GLOBSEC Bled Strategic Forum on European security #Reset #Europe👇

The story of Sir Nicholas Winton, who helped save 669 Czechoslovak children from almost certain death at the hands of the Nazis during WWII, remains a great inspiration even after 85 years. And now a street named after him will remind everyone of it for years to come.
