"If I were a Czech entrepreneur and wanted to impress an Austrian business partner, I would definitely invite them to my company as soon as possible. I would show them how my products are made and why they can rely on them. And to make an even bigger impression, I would definitely take them to Prague," says Christoph Rath, who has been working for the Vienna Insurance Group (VIG) for seventeen years and is currently a member of the Board of Directors of ČPP and Kooperativa. He also noted that he would take a business partner from Austria to Cimrman English Theatre. "If they have a good time, you will find out that you have the same sense of humour.

For almost thirty years I have been trying to bring some common sense to the area of human resources.

Kenssy Dwi Ekaningsih has been Indonesia's ambassador to Prague since June 2019. The Czech Republic is in fact her second diplomatic mission outside the ASEAN region. Although more than half of her current term has been impacted by the covid-19 pandemic, the Embassy under her leadership is very active and busy organising and supporting business and cultural events. Still, Ambassador Kenssy believes that when the pandemic is over, the two countries will be able to further build on the already close relations. The strength of Czech-Indonesian cooperation is also evidenced by the number of Czech companies who are already active in Indonesia.
