- Joint press point with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and the President of Czechia, Petr Pavel, 19 April 2023.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg welcomed the new Czech president, Petr Pavel, to NATO Headquarters.
Mr Stoltenberg praised Czechia as a valued Ally and thanked President Pavel for Czechia’s steadfast support for Ukraine in the face of Russia’s brutal war of aggression: "Czechia has provided critical military equipment to Ukraine, including tanks, helicopters and air defence missiles and you host hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees."
The two leaders also addressed the challenges posed by China. Mr Stoltenberg said: "I welcomed Czechia’s new strategy on the Indo-Pacific. China’s coercive policies are a concern for us in the Euro-Atlantic, just as for our partners in the Indo-Pacific. China challenges our interests, security and values. China is also growing closer to Russia - refusing to condemn its illegal war against Ukraine, and echoing Russian propaganda about the West. So it is important that we continue to work together as Allies, and with like-minded partners around the globe. To stand in defence of our values, and the rules-based international order."
The Secretary General said he looked forward to working with President Pavel and the Czech government to prepare NATO’s Vilnius Summit in July.
President Pavel previously served as Chair of the NATO Military Committee from 2015 to 2018.
🗣 | NATO Secretary General:
President Pavel,
Dear Petr,
Welcome back to NATO Headquarters.
It’s really a great honour and pleasure to welcome you here.
And congratulations on your election as President of the Czech Republic.
We worked very closely together over your tenure as Chair of the NATO Military Committee.
So you are a strong supporter of our transatlantic Alliance.
And you know NATO inside and out.
So it is really a pleasure to welcome you now in your new capacity as President.
Czechia makes valuable contributions to our shared security.
In response to Russia’s brutal war of aggression, you have stepped up to protect other NATO Allies, and to support Ukraine.
Czechia has provided critical military equipment to Ukraine, including tanks, helicopters and air defence missiles.
And you host hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees.
You lead NATO’s new battlegroup in Slovakia, helping to deter any aggression.
And you contribute forces to our battlegroups in Latvia and Lithuania.
Your forces also serve in NATO’s peacekeeping mission in Kosovo, and our capacity-building mission in Iraq.
We just discussed our support for Ukraine.
Though Russian forces continue to sustain significant losses, President Putin shows no signs of preparing for peace.
He thinks he can outlast Ukraine’s resistance and Western support.
So we must continue to prove him wrong.
And provide the Ukrainians with what they need to prevail.
I welcome Czechia’s continued support, including through NATO’s Comprehensive Assistance Package for Ukraine.
In our meeting today, we also addressed the challenges posed by China.
And I welcomed Czechia’s new strategy on the Indo-Pacific.
China’s coercive policies are a concern for us in the Euro-Atlantic, just as for our partners in the Indo-Pacific.
China challenges our interests, security and values.
China is also growing closer to Russia - refusing to condemn its illegal war against Ukraine, and echoing Russian propaganda about the West.
So it is important that we continue to work together as Allies, and with like-minded partners around the globe.
To stand in defence of our values, and the rules-based international order.
So President, thank you for your excellent discussion and meeting today.
And for Czechia’s strong contributions to NATO.
I look forward to continue to working with you. Please.

President Pavel truly is living up to his gigachad visage, I’m incredibly proud to have this man as my country’s president
You are right. So am I.
Czechia is very important.
We are NATO! 💪🫶
President Petr Pavel plans to discuss with President Zelenskyy on Ukraine's counteroffensive. If I were Zelenskyy, I would try to turn the table and ask Pavel what his counteroffensive would look like if he was planning the counteroffensive. Now that would be interesting.
Take a minute to appreciate President Petr Pavel tailored suit, he is very articulate and straight to the point, look very brutal yet very gentlemanly and democratic, the Czechs seem lucky to have him
Except the "uh" which is quite hard to listen to. But it is totally understandable (speaking in front of people, without any supporting paper and in a foreign language)
Yes, we are. I often think we don't even deserve him.
@@delf2731Just the opposite. It is important part of English. They teach you how to do it.
That facial fuzz alone is worthy of a salute!
I know, right?
Looks like the Dos Equis beer guy.
Right!
Thank you Czechia for your support for Ukraine and Nato😍
Finally we got a decent President! #czech
United we win ❤
Well done Czechs 🇨🇿 👏 👍
Love from LT to CZ !!!
Good Job 👍 👏 👏
Glory, Victory, Peace, and Justice for Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇬🇧
I am so proud of our president 🇨🇿🇨🇿
Czech President looks literally like Pierce Brosnan
Pavel is the coolest leader.
Don't know him, but if you say so. 😊👍
@@290766rene Is it really enough that someone will say it??
😂😂😂😂 NO WAY!!!
🙏🏻 thank you NATO 💯
The best President we could wish in these difficult times.
Salutari din Romania domnul presedinte Petru Pavel,,,you re the descended dacian wolf 🐺 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
THANKS A LOT FROM ME AS AN UKRAINIAN REFUGEE IN CZECH REPUBLIC !!!
Petr pavel is a correct Czech lion
Thank you president Pavel for clear words and good leadership.
Two hugely capable men with formidable intelligence. We are lucky to have them on our side.
I am a Czech American that is so proud of President Pavel! I wish you could duplicate him and bring him to the US. His noble bearing and intelligence is beyond my words to describe! Slava Ukraine!
#WeAreNATO 🛡️
We are incredibely lucky to have Mr Pavel as our president. He is badass!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🤘
God damn, Peter Pavel looks are iconic. His face speaks - military, experience, professionalism, badass.
His talking is actually one of things he should improve, he speaks like a robot even in Czech. 🙂
Great to see the Unity and the need for Unity among the NATO countries and countries outside of NATO too that realize Ukraine's Freedom is really about Freedom for other countries too and also it is Morally & Spiritually Correct as Humanity to give that support. Simply put... "United We Stand Divided We Fall."
Just for info, the Czech Republic is a long-term member and partner of NATO
At this time in particular we need a leader in the person of President Petr Pavel face to stare at Putler for a minute and call the bluff on him
Thanks for Czech
We have to beat the beast or he will rise again. You can only walk away so many times. Bully will keep bullying if you don't show strength.
NATO is security for freedom loving countries.
🇨🇿💪🗽
Stand by ukraine, stand by the free world!, keep up the good work!,
I love NATO ❤️❤️❤️❤️
🇺🇸🇺🇦
It’s not about % of GDP, but about military readiness, well said
United in diversity!
👍 sounds good!
Great NATO leadership by sir Jensstoltenberg
President of the Czech Republic 🇨🇿
👍👍😊
❤
President pavel=top
👍👍👍🇪🇺
WHY do you think Russia is interfering in Ukraine???? Russia knows that by keeping Ukraine in a conflict, NATO will not start membership negotiations! We need to make an exception and see if Russia insists on being in a bad spot once Ukraine becomes NATO................
Disagree. Nato needs to double down on supplying Ukraine with weapons - ESPECIALLY fighter jets!
Ukraine can and will win. The question is how long will it take.
Russia is just like cancer.
You don’t surgically remove a tiny piece at a time, do you?
NO!
You attack the cancer head-on and remove all of it and you do it asap!!!
Once the cancer - in this case known as the fascist federation of ruZZia - has been removed from all of Ukraine, including Crimea, then you invite NATO to Ukraine. NOT the other way around.
Because it is Nato that should be allowed to join Ukraine - we all should become more like Ukraine..
🫡 🇺🇦 ❤️
Most Czechs would not like this. But surely there will be someone who will say otherwise. How else.:-)
We are NATO, long live Czechia, guys!
This Pavel guy can’t really be a president. This is an actor playing a president. He’s too good looking to be real.
Lol 😂
Come to Prague. Czech people are good looking. Moravian even more so.
He's a really good president.
