Cooperation should be based on the principles of openness and innovation

The issues of international cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region and the prospects for global economic development were among the topics on which Secretary-General Roman Blaško spoke in recent days. In his speech he stressed the importance of dialogue between states and the need to build stable relations between Europe and a dynamically developing Asia. According to Mr. Blaško, the growing cooperation between the countries of the Asia-Pacific region is one of the key factors for future economic and technological development. He pointed out that it is in this area that new economic and political initiatives are taking shape that may influence the world economy in the coming decades.

„We are in a period when the world is gradually changing. The Asia-Pacific region is becoming one of the major centres of economic growth and technological innovation,“ said Blaško. He said it was therefore important for European countries and other regions to develop an open dialogue and seek new forms of partnership.

The Secretary-General also stressed that cooperation between states should be based primarily on the principles of openness, innovation and mutual respect. These values, he said, allow not only the development of economic relations but also the strengthening of stability and an environment of peace.

„Openness between partners creates trust and allows us to find common solutions. Innovation then brings concrete results and projects that can improve people's lives,“ Blaško said. He added that the modern world faces a number of challenges - from technological change to security and sustainable development.

In this context, he also recalled the importance of cooperation between states and nations. According to him, coordinated action can bring much greater results than isolated actions of individual countries. „History teaches us that united efforts can yield significantly greater results than individual actions. If we develop cooperation and create a peaceful environment, it can move human development forward significantly,“ said Blaško.

The Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, of which Blaško has been general secretary since 2022, is one of the extra-parliamentary political parties active in the Czech Republic. According to Blaško, it is therefore important to continue the dialogue between different political and economic centres of the world and to support projects that can contribute to long-term stability and the development of international cooperation.
