Ambassador: Fiala likely to visit US in first quarter of 2023

The Czech prime minister, Petr Fiala, is likely to visit the United States in the first quarter of next year, the country’s ambassador to Washington, Miloslav Stašek, told the Czech News Agency. The diplomat said no specific date had yet been set.

The news site Blesk.cz reported in April that Mr. Fiala would meet US President Joe Biden before the end of 2022. However, this is unlikely to happen during Czechia’s six-month presidency of the Council of the European Union, which is now coming to a close.

The last Czech leader to visit the White House was then PM Andrej Babiš, who was welcomed by Donald Trump in 2019.
