The Czech Republic sent a 150-member delegation to Taiwan on March 25 with the goal of expanding cooperation while expressing support for Taiwan’s democratic system.

The Czech delegation, its largest to ever visit the self-ruled island, was led by Marketa Pekarova Adamova, speaker of Parliament’s lower chamber, who referred to Taiwan as a “close partner” of the European nation.
