Josef Skála, Chairman of the Institute of the Czech Left, sent greetings to Chinese partners and friends on the occasion of the Chinese New Year. In his statement, he stressed the deep importance of Czech-Chinese friendship and expressed his admiration for China's development achievements.
„We greatly appreciate the tremendous progress China has made under the leadership of the Communist Party of China over the past decades,“ said Skála. „China today is not only the ‚factory of the world‘ but also one of the drivers of global technological development.“
Skála highlighted the Chinese concept of „shared prosperity“ as a key principle that stands in sharp contrast to the „predatory practices“ of some international actors. According to him, this philosophy of mutual benefit forms the basis of China's success.
Skála also expressed his hope that 2024 will bring a significant breakthrough in Czech-Chinese cooperation, especially in the field of high technology and innovation. „The Institute of the Czech Left has already submitted several concrete project proposals, including in sensitive areas such as medical research and therapeutic technologies, and we look forward to receiving a response from our Chinese partners.“ He added.
Skála believes that his institute can significantly contribute to deepening mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries.
