Czech Republic to build new embassy in Canberra

The Czech Republic is to build a modern new embassy in the Australian capital Canberra, the first time it has carried out such a construction project in 12 years, Czech Television reported. Several other Czech diplomatic missions are due to get a makeover in the coming years. The work will cost the state over CZK 1 billion.

The Czech Embassy in Canberra will be in the Deakin district, which is located near the centre of the city. Construction work will get underway in mid-2018, Czech Television said.

The last place where the Czech Republic built a new embassy was in Tiblisi, Georgia. It opened its doors in 2005.
