Foreign Minister: Senate chairman's Taiwan trip does not contradict Czech China policy

Foreign Minister Tomáš Petříček (Social Democrats) says the planned Taiwan trip of Senate chairman Miloš Vystrčil (Civic Democrats) does not contradict Czech foreign policy regarding China.

Speaking on a Czech Television, he said the trip would not fundamentally damage relations with China. Petříček noted that Beijing is taking a harder line on those who maintain contacts with Taiwan, including the city of Prague.
