U.S. Relationship

U.S.-Czechia Relations

The United States established diplomatic relations with the Czech Republic in 1993 after then-Czechoslovakia split into two separate independent republics. Previously, the United States recognized Czechoslovakia in 1918 and maintained an embassy in Prague. The Czech Republic made integration into Western institutions its chief foreign policy objective in the first years after communism. Relations between the United States and the Czech Republic are excellent and reflect our common approach to the many challenges facing the world.

U.S. Assistance to Czechia

U.S. security assistance programs for the Czech Republic seek to strengthen Czech capabilities, enhance interoperability with U.S. and NATO forces, and provide opportunities for professional and technical education of military officers and noncommissioned officers, civilian leaders, and other specialists.
