On the occasion of the anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe, the Czech Republic\u2019s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Petr Ma\u010dinka, will travel to Berlin.<\/p>\n
This was announced by the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n
Ma\u010dinka expressed his gratitude for the invitation from his German colleague Johanna Wadeful to visit the capital of the FRG on this very day.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an important gesture that goes beyond ordinary diplomacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Context of the visit and expected results<\/p>\n
It is expected that the foreign ministers of the two countries will approve a memorandum extending the Czech-German Future Fund\u2019s activities to 2037.<\/p>\n
The document will come into force next year, when both countries will mark the 30th anniversary of signing the Czech-German Declaration. Since its inception, the fund has helped strengthen the ties between the societies of both countries and aids in reflecting on their shared past.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Ma\u010dinka, together with the head of the Czech-German Discussion Forum J\u00f6rg N\u00fcrnberger, will pay tribute to the memory of 677 Czech patriots who were executed near the Pl\u00f6tzensee Memorial, where a prison operated during the Nazi regime.<\/p>\n
In Berlin, the Czech Foreign Minister will meet with Armin Laschet, the head of the Bundestag\u2019s Committee on Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n
This is the first visit by the head of the Czech Foreign Ministry to Germany in this role.<\/p>\n
The current government of the Czech Republic began its term in December of last year.<\/p>\n
Overall, this visit underscores Prague\u2019s commitment to maintaining an active bilateral dialogue with Germany and to promoting strengthened historical memory between the peoples.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He will attend memorial events and high-level talks in Berlin.
