Fiala offers details of eight-day Africa trip starting Friday

The Czech prime minister, Petr Fiala, is set to begin an eight-day trip to a number of African states this coming Friday. He told reporters on Wednesday that he would visit Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana and Ivory Coast, accompanied by a delegation of Czech business people.

Mr. Fiala said the trip would have a similar format to one to Asia he made in April this year, which he said brought concrete results for Czech companies and society. He said Czechia should change its approach to Africa, which offered great potential to Czech firms.
