Andrej Babis, the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, recently called on the President of India, Ram Nath Kovind, at Rashtrapati Bhavan. The President said that India counts the Czech Republic as a key partner in its growth story. He thanked the government of the Czech Republic for hosting the ‘Czech Make in India' pavilion at the Vibrant Gujarat Summit in Gandhinagar. He said that there are immense opportunities for Czech technology and manufacturing in India.
