Czech FM to attend Peace Council opening in Washington as observer

Foreign Minister Petr Macinka (Motoristé sobě) will attend Thursday’s opening session of the Peace Council in Washington, the Czech Foreign Ministry confirmed.

According to ministry spokesperson Adam Čörgő, Macinka will take part in the meeting as an observer, following an agreement with Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO).

The Peace Council initiative was announced late last year by US President Donald Trump and formally established in January.

Although the Czech Republic has received an invitation to join the body, Prime Minister Babiš said Prague is not currently considering membership.
