Vystrcil, the second highest ranking official of the Czech Republic, after the country's president, is the highest-level Czech official to ever visit Taiwan. He also said the visit is to honor the spirit of late Czech President Václav Havel. He also met with late Taiwan President Lee Teng-hui when the latter visited the Czech Republic in the late 1990s.
