President Pavel to meet PM Babiš for foreign policy talks

President Petr Pavel will meet Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) at Prague Castle on Monday evening to discuss foreign policy and current issues. The talks will also focus on Pavel’s participation in the UN General Assembly in New York next week, where he will head the Czech delegation. Foreign Minister Petr Macinka (Motorists) was also invited but will not attend following consultations with Babiš. Relations between the president and the government have been strained in recent months, including over the coordination of foreign policy and representation at international meetings.
