AGENDA FOR CZECH FOREIGN POLICY

Agenda for Czech foreign policy after the parliamentary elections

22. 9. 2021 Registration

What do the Czech political parties think about Czech Republic’s place in the world? How do they position themselves towards the major international challenges of today such as climate change, the deteriorating human rights situation or migration? How to successfully handle the Presidency of the Council of the EU? What stance to take towards the US, Russia or China? And how should Czechia project itself in its own neighbourhood?

These are some of the questions that representatives of political parties running in this year’s Czech parliamentary elections will be discussing. As part of the event, the annual publication of the Association for International Affairs “Agenda for Czech Foreign Policy 2021” will be presented.

The event will be moderated by Ondřej Houska (Hospodářské noviny)
