The Czech Republic celebrates its National Day today. A landlocked country in Central Europe, it is bordered to the northeast by Poland, to the east by Slovakia, to the south by Austria, and to the west and northwest by Germany. Formerly merged as Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic and Slovakia emerged as independent republics on January 1, 1993. The Czech Republic has a very high human development index among Central and Eastern European countries. The country is also considered to be the 3rd most peaceful country in Europe. The Philippines and the Czech Republic enjoy warm bilateral relations. On July 25, 2013, the two countries signed an Agreement on Cooperation in the fields of Culture, Education, Science, and Sports. This agreement was proposed in 2005 and paved the way for an expanded partnership that would harness the strength and best practices of both countries into mutually beneficial cooperation in the fields of culture, education, science, and sports. The Agreement provides a framework for both sides to strengthen and promote their respective capabilities and institutions covering the abovementioned areas and, in the process, contribute to the overall growth and developments of both countries. We congratulate the government and people of the Czech Republic led by Their Excellencies, President Milos Zeman, Prime Minister Jiří Rusnok, Foreign Affairs Minister Jan Kohout, and Industry and Trade Minister Jiri Cienciala, and its Embassy in the Republic of the Philippines headed by H.E., Ambassador Josef Rychtar, on the occasion of its National Day. CONGRATULATIONS AND MABUHAY! Published by Tempo on 28 October 2013
