Up to five dozen Czech firms to be part of Taiwan delegation

Representatives of four or five dozen Czech companies will be in the parliamentary delegation that will visit Taiwan at the end of March, the speaker of the lower chamber, Markéta Pekarová Adamová, told CNN Prima News on Sunday. The delegation will also include the director of the Czech National Museum, Michal Lukeš, and representatives from the fields of science and research.

China, which considers Taiwan to be an integral part of its territory, has already protested against Ms Pekarová Adamová's planned visit and called for its cancellation.
