Government approves foreign policy roadmap

The government on Monday approved a new foreign policy roadmap, focussing on both economic diplomacy but also human rights, the country’s Secretary for European Affairs Tomáš Prouza confirmed. The document is to set the course for years to come. According to the Czech News Agency, the roadmap draws on legacies outlined by Czechoslovakia’s first president T.G. Masayrk, the Prague Spring, or the Charter 77 human rights movement. The document reportedly stresses the Czech Republic’s place withïn the Euro-Atlantic space and membership in the EU and NATO.
