"As Canada's ambassador, I benefit every day from the warm and friendly relations between our countries, and I see the Czech Republic as one of our closest partners and allies," says Ayesha Rekhi. "Our two countries have strong historical ties, such as the multiple waves of Czechoslovak immigration in the 20th century, but also shared values in various areas such as international trade, human rights and security. This foundation gives us a head start in the relations between our governments, companies and institutions. From my position, I’m doing my best to keep building and further strengthening these relations," Ms. Rekhi adds at the beginning of our talk at the Canadian Embassy in Prague.

At the age of 18, she went to study in Italy and later founded her first company while still at university. She then gradually expanded her business from Italy to the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bulgaria. After twenty years of living abroad, she returned to her native city of Zlín to settle down and become the president of the Regional Chamber of Commerce of the Zlín Region. Later she was offered the opportunity to capitalize on her experience in European politics. She hesitated for a moment, but the responsibility coming with the challenge overcame all doubts and fears in the end. How has she managed to defend the interests of Czech entrepreneurs in the European Parliament for eight years? Can a woman from a small country change anything at all? What is now going on in the EU institutions and what should Czech entrepreneurs look out for? We talked about all this with Martina Dlabajová, Member of the European Parliament.
