Czech Republic

Historically, France played a key role in the foundation of the first Republic of Czechoslovakia (the provisional Czechoslovakian government was established in Paris on 26 September 1918, first recognized by the French government on 15 October 1918). While relations between our two countries were relatively modest between 1939 and 1989, they improved again after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the communist regime.

The accession of the Czech Republic to the European Union has strongly stimulated bilateral ties, which today are very dynamic in the economic (French companies have a strong presence in many sectors), cultural, linguistic, university, scientific and technical fields.
