On Wednesday, 12 February 2025, Minister of Foreign Affairs Jan Lipavský received the Minister of Defence of Mauritania, Hanan Ould Sidi, at the Czernin Palace. They discussed bilateral relations in the field of defence cooperation and humanitarian aid.
“Czechia has long been helping in the fight against terrorism in the Sahel. Mauritania shows an active approach in the field of terrorism prevention, which strengthens regional security.

Mauritania is a NATO partner country and Czechia is interested in strengthening its stability and security. The ministers also discussed the possibilities of Czech humanitarian aid in view of the long-term refugee wave that Mauritania is facing on its border with
Mali. The meeting also included an exchange of views on the current security situation in the Sahel, as well as cooperation within multilateral diplomacy.
