The Prime Minister welcomed the Czech Republic\u2019s increased engagement with the Indo-Pacific, as well as President Pavel\u2019s continued advocacy for European engagement in our region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strengthening ties between partners like Australia and the Czech Republic allows us to respond to the shared security challenges of the Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
