President, PM and opposition leader debate foreign policy and security issues

The Czech government and the country’s leading opposition party ANO are united in their support for Czechia’s pro-Western orientation, the country's anchoring in the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the need to be active in these institutions, President Petr Pavel said after talks with Prime Minister Petr Fiala and ANO leader Andrej Babis at Prague Castle on Tuesday. He said the talks confirmed continued support for Ukraine as well as efforts towards peace negotiations that would seek a just and lasting solution to the conflict. The talks were aimed at fine-tuning the country’s position on issues to be discussed at the upcoming NATO summit, due to take place in Washington in July.
