PM: Czech Republic must come across like strong team on international stage

Prime Minister Andrej Babiš says that if the Czech Republic is to assert itself amid tough international competition it will only be able to do so by coming across like a strong team that advances the country's national interests. Mr. Babiš made the comment on Monday in a video address to delegates at the start of a conference of economic diplomats at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Prague.

The minister of foreign affairs, Jakub Kulhánek, told the assembled that it had become clear during the coronavirus crisis that the country had outstanding companies in promising fields, such as health care, digital technology and nanotechnology.
