The Czech Republic hosts the Informal Meeting of Foreign Ministers of NATO countries

The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, left Chisinau for Prague, where the Czech Government is hosting the Informal Meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers. Secretary Blinken held talks with Czech President Petr Pavel and signed a memorandum with Foreign Affairs Minister Jan Lipavski on countering disinformation.

According to David Konecký, the senior director of the security and multilateral section of the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs and future Czech ambassador to NATO, the meeting will “provide an opportunity for the ministers to discuss sensitive matters” and lay the groundwork for a successful summit in Washington.

Foreign Affairs Minister Jan Lipavský will discuss NATO security with several of his international counterparts – he told Expats.cz earlier this week that the summit will give NATO countries “a chance to collaborate together to boost support for Ukraine and strengthen the bloc’s security.”

Ministers will also talk about energy security and the fight against disinformation, as well as the instability in the Middle East.
