"I will not hesitate to claim that since we now have an embassy building that is renewed, optimistic, elegant, and leaving a very positive mark on London, we can have great hope that Czech diplomacy in the British capital will make a similar impact. The embassy building is not only an instrument for asserting Czech foreign-policy interests, it is also a statement. A statement about form and a statement about substance. I firmly believe that the goodwill and harmony between London and the iconic building of the Czech Embassy will continue in the future to resist the pitfalls of restless times and will keep blossoming, just like the goodwill and harmony between our nations."
