Ireland enjoys excellent bilateral relations with the Czech Republic.
A resident Czech Embassy opened in Dublin in 1995, the same year in which the Irish Embassy was established in Prague. The current Czech Ambassador, HE Petr Kynštetr has been in post since March 2018 and presided locally over the Czech Presidency of the EU in the second half of 2022. While I have not had any formal bilateral meetings with the Ambassador so far this year, my officials regularly engage with the Ambassador and his Embassy colleagues on a range of EU and other issues.
