Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies Markéta Pekarová Adamová held talks on 7.6.2023 with her Korean counterpart Kim Jin-pyo in Prague. The main topics were Czech-Korean cooperation in the political and economic fields. The President, who visited Korea in March this year, also invited her counterpart to the Parliamentary Summit of the International Crimean Platform. Its second year will take place in Prague this October.
The Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, Markéta Pekarová Adamová, held talks with the Chairman of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea, Kim Jin-pyo, in Prague.
“Our countries share the same democratic values. However, their preservation in the world is not automatically guaranteed. Last year he confirmed that this is not an empty phrase. Ukraine is at war with Russia because of its decision to embrace these values and build a democratic, prosperous country based on the rule of law and respect for basic human rights and freedoms. That is why I invited Mr. Chairman to Prague for the October session of the second annual Parliamentary Summit of the International Crimean Platform. I am sure that his experience and knowledge will be enriching for the participants in the meeting and that we will continue the broader discussion about the defense of our shared values,” said the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Markéta Pekarová Adamová, immediately after the meeting.
The two officials also discussed Czech-Korean business cooperation. “The Republic of Korea is the third largest investor in the Czech Republic and the second most important trading partner of the Czech Republic in Asia. Mutual cooperation in the area of drug supplies is also progressing, which we already discussed during my first visit to Seoul in March. I am also glad that we managed to restore a direct flight between our capitals,” added the speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Markéta Pekarová Adamová. As part of her trip in March, on which she was accompanied by a large business delegation, she visited, in addition to the capital Seoul, the important South Korean commercial city of Pusan.
