SIDM-Indian Embassy in Prague organised Fifth Edition of India Meets Czechia in Prague on 20th October 2026 "There is a growing importance of defence cooperation between the two countries. Three of the five editions of India Meets Czechia have focused on defence, reflecting the significant potential of the sector. The next phase of cooperation should go beyond conventional buyer-seller relationships. Indian companies were encouraged to identify Czech partners with complementary technologies, explore joint production and consider establishing a presence in Czechia as a gateway to the wider European market. Similarly, Czech companies were encouraged to view India not merely as a market but as a long-term industrial and manufacturing partner." - Shri Raveesh Kumar Ambassador of India to Czechia
