Rt Hon Christopher
Luxon
Prime Minister
President of the
Czech Republic Petr Pavel will visit New Zealand next
week.
“I am pleased to welcome President Pavel to
New Zealand and look forward to our meeting,” Prime
Minister Christopher Luxon says.
“New Zealand and
the Czech Republic both have a strong commitment to
democracy and upholding the international rules-based
order.
“We are both strong supporters of open
markets. President Pavel’s visit will allow us to further
our trade relationship and maximise opportunities under the
newly-agreed New Zealand-European Union Free Trade
Agreement.”
President Pavel and his delegation will
attend a series of events in Auckland and
Wellington.
As well as meeting with the Prime
Minister, the President will be hosted by the
Governor-General for talks at Government House and meet
separately with the Minister of Defence.
“I look
forward to engaging with President Pavel, particularly on
peace and security issues, given his background as the
former Chief of the General Staff of the Czech Armed Forces,
and Chairman of the NATO Military Committee.
“The
visit reaffirms New Zealand as a trusted and supportive
partner to the Czech Republic and wider European region,”
says Prime Minister Luxon.
President Pavel arrives in
New Zealand on Saturday 30 November and departs on Thursday
5
December.
