The Speaker of the Czech Chamber of Deputies, Tomio Okamura, consulted with the leadership of Czech intelligence services prior to a recent trip to China. This meeting was revealed by Okamura during an appearance on CNN Prima News. He reiterated his willingness to negotiate for the release of a Czech citizen currently imprisoned in China, should the Ministry of Foreign Affairs request his assistance. The purpose of Okamura’s trip to China and the details of discussions with intelligence officials remain largely undisclosed. He leads the Freedom and Direct Democracy party (SPD). This development highlights the sensitivity surrounding Czech-China relations and the nation’s efforts regarding its citizens abroad. The meeting suggests potential concerns about Okamura's role as an unofficial diplomat.
