According to Fiala, Czechia must stop looking at Africa as something that is distant. “It is already happening in other countries, and we must not stand aside,” the prime minister said before his visit to Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, and Ivory Coast. We must correct what we have neglected,” the Czech Prime Minister said. Fiala is convinced that the EU should not only talk to the countries of North Africa but also to other countries from which people are heading north. According to the prime minister, building new and better relations with Africa is advantageous as the Czech Republic is now trying to diversify its partners in imports and exports.
