Foreign Minister Eli Cohen is flying to the Czech Republic, where he will meet President Petr Pavel and Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský on Tuesday.

He will also meet business leaders in Prague before flying home tomorrow.

According to the Foreign Ministry, Cohen will discuss deepening ties in the fields of security, trade, and climate.

Iran will also dominate discussions, as the Czech Republic chairs the IAEA Board of Governors. “We will discuss ways to stop Iran’s attempt to obtain a nuclear weapon, and how to stop Iran’s terrorist arms,” says Cohen.

In March, Pavel replaced Milos Zeman, an outspoken supporter of Israel.
