Malacañan Palace
April 17, 2023
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. hosts a night of culinary experience and cultural performances in honor of Prime Minister Petr Fiala of the Czech Republic who is currently in the Philippines for a three-day official visit from 16-18 April 2023.
The President conveys his appreciation towards the visiting leader for the commitment that both of them share in strengthening ties, as the two nations celebrate their 50th anniversary of bilateral relations this year.
During the dinner at Malacañan Palace, the two leaders witness the book launching of ‘Kaibigan-Pratele: Czech-Philippine Cultural and Diplomatic Dialogue’. It contains various documentation of the rich history of people-to-people and socio-cultural exchanges between the Philippines and Czech Republic.
“I hope that all the work and effort poured into this publication makes it not only an informative tool for everyone who is interested in the rich history of cultural and diplomatic exchanges between our two countries. But let it serve also as a symbol of the friendship amongst our people,” President Marcos Jr. said.
Prior to the official dinner, the two leaders hold an exchange of gifts wherein the President and First Lady Louise Araneta Marcos present a white cabibe jewelry box and red pen shell box to the Czech Prime Minister.
Prime Minister Fiala is the first Head of Government from Europe to visit the country since President Marcos Jr. assumed the Presidency.
