Czech Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tomáš Petříček, launches his
official visit to the United States on Thursday, when he is due to meet
with the National Security advisor to Donald Trump John Bolton and USAID
chief Mark Green.
On Friday, Mr Petříček is scheduled to meet with his American
counterpart, Secretary of State Michael Pompeo. The Czech prime
minister’s meeting with President Trump at the White House in March will
be high on their agenda.
According to the Czech Foreign Ministry, the visit aims to support
strengthening bilateral relations and to follow up on last year’s visit
of then-Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, Defence Secretary James Mattis and
Energy Secretary Rick Perry in Prague.
