The discussions focused on further strengthening bilateral and multilateral cooperation between Thailand and the Czech Republic, which continues to expand in diverse fields. Both sides highlighted collaboration in the defence industry, science and innovation, Thailand–European Union relations, Thailand’s accession process to the OECD, as well as mutual support for candidatures within international organizations. They also exchanged perspectives on key regional and global developments.

The Vice Minister hosted a luncheon in honour of the Czech Deputy Minister, attended by representatives from the Defence Technology Institute (DTI) and the National Innovation Agency (NIA).

The Czech Republic remains Thailand’s leading trading partner among the Visegrád countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia). In 2024, around 60,000 Czech tourists visited Thailand, coinciding with the celebration of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two nations.

During his visit, Deputy Minister Kozák also met with Ms. Lin Yang, Deputy Executive Secretary for Programme of the United Nations and Executive Secretary of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).
