Subsequently, bilateral negotiations on the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries were conducted. In June 1955, in response to a proposal of the Czechoslovak side, the Burmese government agreed to establish diplomatic relations with Czechoslovakia, as well as to open our legation in Rangoon. This act was confirmed by the official announcement on the establishment of bilateral diplomatic relations, which was published by both the Czechoslovak and Burmese media on 25 July 1955. The date of the official announcement is considered by the Czech side as the day of actual establishment of diplomatic relations. On 3 January 1956, the first Czechoslovak Chargé d'Affaires Mr. František Jurečka handed over his credentials to the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Union of Burma.

On 2 January 1962, the two countries agreed to elevate their diplomatic missions’ status to embassies.

Following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993, the operation of our embassy in Yangon was terminated. Subsequently, the Czech Embassy in Bangkok represented the Czech interests in then Union of Myanmar. 21 years later, on 14 February 2014 the reopening of the embassy in Yangon took place.

Since May 2019, the Honorary Consulate of the Czech Republic in Mandalay has also been available for assistance to the Czech citizens.
