    The visit of the Czech Senate delegation to Taiwan attracted big attention. Apart from China, Czech politicians including President Zeman and PM Andrej Babis (ANO) opposed it. We went there to support the economic activities of our countries and our national pride and to make clear how to move further in our relations, Senate deputy head Jiri Ruzicka (for TOP 09/STAN), left, who was a member of the Czech delegation that was in Taiwan, said in Prague, Czech Republic, September 5, 2020.

      Only a military torso is left due to years of neglecting of the Czech army, and it is no time for slowing down the military upgrading now, Chief-of-Staff Ales Opata told a military command meeting today, on Tuesday, February 25, 2020. We must reinforce the torso once again. The Russian equipment really is not our path anymore. The allies are moving away from us and the potential enemy is getting a generation ahead of us, he said. The military has been suffering enough in the recent years, he said. Opata said his priorities are soldiers, the military's rearmament, quick-impact-projects, the command and control system, and gaining new capabilities. He recalled that the Czech Republic repeatedly pledged at NATO summits to annually spend 2 percent of the gross domestic product on the military in 2024. Some Czech politicians have recently challenged this pledge. Opata said defence spending of 2 percent of GDP is neither money for the soldiers nor money for the army. It is two percent for our defence, he pointed out. Defence Minister Lubomir Metnar (for ANO) said he considers his main goal to defend the stable and predictable financial framework of the military in the government and parliament.

          The U.S. embassy in Prague has bestowed the Alice Garrigue Masaryk Human Rights Award on Simon Panek, director of the People in Need nonprofit NGO and one of its founders, in the residence of U.S. ambassador Stephen King in Prague today, on Tuesday, December 10, 2019. The award was handed over to Panek by Deputy Chief of Mission Jennifer Bachus. The embassy said Panek received the award for his contribution to the foundation, development and defence of the Czech civic society. Panek launched his charitable activities in 1988 when he, at the age of 20, organised a fund raising campaign for Armenia that was hit by an earthquake then. In 1989, he was one of the student leaders of the Velvet Revolution that led to the collapse of the Czechoslovak communist regime, but later he preferred humanitarian activities. In 1992, he established a team that provided aid in the war-stricken Nagorno-Karabakh. This team gradually developed in the People in Need nongovernmental organisation. The NGO has been operating in more than 30 countries all over the world, providing humanitarian aid, contributing to social development and helping to spread awareness. (CTK Photo/Katerina Sulova)
