The speaker of the Chamber of Deputies Markéta Pekarová Adamová met with the Speaker of the Saxon State Assembly Alexander Dierks, in Prague. They discussed the results of the recent elections to the German Bundestag and closer Czech-Saxon cross-border cooperation in transport. They also agreed on the importance of investments in the further development of strategically important semiconductor infrastructure.
“First, we discussed the current post-election situation in Germany and its broader political and economic impacts with the Speaker. We also talked about the Via Vindobona project, specifically the construction of a high-speed line between Prague and Dresden. A key part of this route is the Ore Mountains Tunnel, the implementation of which at the federal level is essential for the successful completion of the entire project. I greatly appreciate Saxony’s support, which will contribute to a faster and more convenient connection of our countries,” said the Chairwoman of the Chamber of Deputies, Markéta Pekarová Adamová, after the meeting.
She also emphasized the importance of Czech-Saxon cooperation in the field of investment, science and research: “This cooperation is crucial for the future of our economies, especially in such strategic sectors as semiconductors and microelectronics. The Czech Republic already plays an active role in the European Alliance of Semiconductor Regions and we are ready to further support the implementation of further investments with high added value. These investments will strengthen our competitiveness and innovative potential throughout Europe,” added the Chairwoman, Markéta Pekarová Adamová.
After the meeting in the Chamber of Deputies, Chairman Dierks headed to the upper chamber of the Czech Parliament to meet with the President of the Senate, Miloš Vystrčil.
