According to a statement by the Foreign Ministry, Nasr stressed the importance of the meetings as an essential mechanism for following up on the outcomes of political consultations, contributing to the exchange of views and perspectives with the Czech side on all bilateral, regional, and international files.

The meeting focused on consolidating political and economic ties between the two countries, as well as the necessity of expanding bilateral relations and increasing joint collaboration by defining clear targets, the statement read.
