捷克共和國

曾和斯洛伐克合併為一個國家,1989年絲絨革命後以和平方式分裂成捷克和斯洛伐克兩個獨立國家,但關係依舊友好。獨立後的捷克發展迅速,是斯拉夫民族國家中教育程度最高及民主制度最穩定的國家之一。一直以來和俄羅斯關係不佳,也因此當俄烏戰爭爆發,捷克可能是繼波蘭之後最強烈支持烏克蘭的歐盟國家。捷克捐贈了數十輛坦克、大量的火箭發射器和彈藥給烏克蘭,也宣布將派遣戰鬥機保護斯洛伐克領空,共同抵禦俄羅斯可能的攻擊。除了武器支援,捷克也接收了超過38萬名烏克蘭難民。2022年7月到12月,捷克成為歐盟輪值主席國,與法國、瑞典共同商討歐盟未來18個月的政策方向。預計將會聚焦於幫助烏克蘭、應對難民危機和解決能源短缺三大主軸上。對中政策上,捷克總統齊曼傾向與中國友好,但總理費亞拉和參議院議長維特齊認為應該要與台灣建立友好關係。

The Czech Republic and Slovakia were once one country, Czechoslovakia. It first was occupied during WWII by Nazi Germany and then became one of the satellite states of the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The Velvet Revolution eventually broke out in 1989. Czechoslovakia was peacefully dissolved in 1993 and the two states still maintain friendly relations. The state has developed close ties with Taiwan in recent years. Senate Speaker, Miloš Vystrčil, insisted on visiting Taiwan despite Beijing's disapproval in 2020. The visit is so far the highest level of official contact between the Czech Republic and Taiwan since its independence. The country is ranked among the top 30 countries in the world on the Human Development Index and UN World Happiness Index. Among all the Slavic nation states, the Czechs have the highest level of education, and the state is one of the most stable democracies. Tensions between Russia and the Czech Republic are high.
