Tsjekkia gjenåpnet sist uke sin ambassade i Luxembourg by, etter at den forrige regjeringen la ned ambassaden i 2012. Tsjekkias utenriksminister Lubomir Zaoralek var til stede ved åpningen av ambassaden sammen sin luxembourgiske kollega Jean Asselborn, melder utenriksdepartementet i Praha.
Tsjekkia ville opne opp igjen ambassaden for å styrke de historiske og økonomiske forbindelsene mellom de to EU-landene.
Luxembourg sin andel utgjør en betydelig andel av utenlandske investeringer i Tsjekkia, som er spesielt interessert i et nærere samarbeid med Luxembourg innen IT, forskning og miljøvennlig teknologi.
