Prague Mayor Zdeněk Hřib has signed a partnership agreement with the
Mayor of Taiwan's capital Taipei, Ko Wen-je, on economic, trade and
cultural cooperation, the Czech News Agency reported on Monday. Three other
memoranda, including one on cooperation between the cities' zoos, were
signed as well.
Partnership between the cities was agreed upon by the Prague City Hall
leadership during a visit to Taiwan last spring, and the plan was then
approved by the City Hall assembly at the end of 2019.
Prague previously had a sister agreement with Beijing, but a dispute over a
clause regarding the One China policy led to it being terminated by the
Czech capital last October.
