In mid-May, a week-long trip of a delegation led by the Special Envoy for the Sahel, Tomáš Uličný, to Niger took place. Other members of the delegation were Deputy Ambassador to Nigeria Hana Trousilová and Defence Attaché to Algeria Filip Smolík.

During the week, meetings were held with the following representatives of the Nigerien government, business and military:
President Mohamed Bazoum
Prime Minister, Ouhoumoudou Mahamadou
