Czech Agriculture Minister, Marek Výborný, is slated to embark on a visit to Manila next week with the aim of fostering collaboration with the Philippines to bolster its food security endeavors.
Following a bilateral meeting with President Marcos, Czech President Petr Pavel disclosed plans for the agriculture minister’s visit alongside a contingent of entrepreneurs during a joint press conference.
Pavel remarked, “Our agriculture minister, accompanied by a substantial delegation of our business community, will imminently journey to the Philippines armed with concrete proposals.”
In a gesture of bilateral goodwill, Pavel extended an invitation to Marcos for a three-day official visit to the Czech Republic, underscoring the commemoration of fifty years of diplomatic ties between the two nations celebrated the preceding year.
During his stay, Výborný will engage in discussions with Department of Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel and spearhead a business symposium in Makati City scheduled for March 21st.
The Czech delegation, comprising the agriculture minister and business representatives, will also convene a business forum in the Davao region. Additionally, they will tour the facilities of the Tagum Agricultural Development Company, Inc. located in Panabo City, Davao del Norte.
