The Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies Markéta Pekarová Adamová together with MP Petr Fifka, the Deputy Chairman of the House Committee for European Affairs, visited neighboring Bavaria. In Munich, they discussed closer inter-parliamentary cooperation and cross-border trade and economic relations with the Speaker of the Bavarian State Assembly, Ilse Aigner, and the leadership of the Bavarian State Assembly. The Speaker also spoke at the Czech exposition as part of the prestigious international semiconductor fair Semicon.
“We have excellent neighborly relations with Bavaria. Mutual cooperation is successfully developing both between our legislatures and at the level of countless cross-border people-to-people contacts. Bavaria is, at the same time, our important business partner and an essential investor with us. The TAL oil pipeline also plays a strategic role in Czech-Bavarian relations, thanks to the expansion of which we are succeeding in a substantial way in getting rid of our former dependence on Russian oil,” said the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Markéta Pekarová Adamová.
The president also spoke at the Czech exposition as part of the prestigious international semiconductor fair Semicon.
“We are systematically strengthening our country’s capacities in the field of chip design and production. Recently, a record investment by the Onsemi company in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm was announced, and in Brno, in cooperation with Taiwanese partners, we ceremoniously opened the Advanced Chip Research Center. This area is undergoing extremely dynamic development today and it is good that we are becoming a relevant player in this key industry with high added value. I am therefore glad that representatives of Czech companies and research institutes are helping to present this fact here in Bavaria,” said the speaker of the House of Representatives, Markéta Pekarová Adamová, among other things, in her speech.
In Munich, the parliamentary delegation also visited the influential Hanns Seidel Stiftung Research Foundation. They discussed with their leading experts the current development of Russian aggression in Ukraine and the future of transatlantic relations.
