AMMAN — Diplomatic relations between Jordan and the Czech Republic have entered a period of significant growth, with cooperation expanding across cybersecurity, renewable energy, trade, development assistance and regional security, Czech Ambassador to Jordan Andrea Kucerova said.
Reflecting on her first year in Amman, Kucerova described her experience in Jordan as both professionally rewarding and personally enriching.
"I have been received with exceptional warmth and hospitality by the Jordanian people," she said, adding that she and her family have spent weekends travelling across the Kingdom to explore its natural beauty, cultural traditions and historical heritage.
Kucerova said the Czech embassy has made substantial progress in strengthening bilateral cooperation.
"Our bilateral cooperation has experienced a dynamic surge across defence, cybersecurity, energy, development cooperation, bilateral political ties and other fields," she said.
One of the year's major milestones was the inaugural Czech-Jordanian Cybersecurity Forum on Cybercrime Mitigation and Governance, held in November 2025 at the Royal Scientific Society under the patronage of HRH Princess Sumaya Bint El Hassan.
According to the ambassador, the forum significantly enhanced cooperation on cyber threat intelligence sharing and digital security while opening the door for Czech technology firms, including Cogniware, Aura and Wultra, to explore partnerships with Jordanian institutions.
Kucerova also highlighted growing cooperation with the Public Security Directorate (PSD) describing the relationship as one of the embassy's most promising initiatives.
She noted that the director of the PSD's Special Branch visited Prague in February 2026 as part of efforts to deepen security cooperation.
Economic diplomacy has also become a central focus of the embassy's work.
“Through partnerships with the Amman Chamber of Commerce and EuroCham Jordan, the embassy has facilitated direct engagement between Czech and Jordanian companies to encourage trade and investment.”
In June 2026, Czech companies Solarity, ElkoEP and RSE presented advanced technologies in renewable energy, energy management and smart automation during meetings with senior Jordanian government officials.
The companies also showcased their products at the Czech National Pavilion during the Renewable Energy and Solar Energy Exhibition (SONEX/JIMEX 2026).
"By deploying Czech expertise in sustainable grid optimisation we aim to support Jordan's green transition," Kucerova said.
The ambassador said the embassy is also working to connect Czech engineering and manufacturing companies with the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority, seeking to integrate Czech technologies into regional industrial and logistics supply chains.
Future plans include Czech participation in the SOFEX 2026 defence exhibition in Aqaba, the EU-Jordan Investment Conference at the Dead Sea and the second Czech-Jordan Cybersecurity Forum, all scheduled for later this year.
Beyond trade and security, the Czech Republic continues to expand its development cooperation in Jordan.
In June, the embassy signed agreements to finance a rooftop solar energy system for the Zarqa Life Centre and upgrade a pottery workshop at the Lutheran World Federation Centre in Zarqa to strengthen sustainable livelihoods. The Czech Republic also supported vocational training programmes in Maan through Terre des Hommes, with a particular focus on people with disabilities.
Kucerova said that the embassy also organised the first Czech Charity Bazaar in May, bringing together local non-governmental organisations to promote their products and generate income under the slogan "Shop, Eat and Support".
Healthcare cooperation remains another important pillar of bilateral relations.
The ambassador announced plans for a specialised Czech MEDEVAC ophthalmology mission in cooperation with Al Khalidi Hospital later this year. Since 2013, Czech medical teams have carried out hundreds of free operations in Jordan, providing ophthalmology, trauma and plastic surgery services to Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians.
The Czech Republic has also maintained long-term support for refugee communities.
The embassy recently financed the establishment of a pottery workshop in Azraq Refugee Camp in partnership with CARE International, while previous Czech assistance included construction of the solar electricity network in Zaatari Refugee Camp.
Kucerova also noted that the Czech military operated a special cargo flight through Amman last year to deliver urgently needed medical supplies to field hospitals in Gaza.
The envoy also said that the embassy plans additional development projects in Zarqa and Maan governorates, focusing on vocational training, equipment donations and support for vulnerable communities.
On regional affairs, Kucerova praised Jordan's role as a stabilising force in the Middle East.
“We view the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as an indispensable peacemaker,” she said. “Jordan stands out as a critical anchor of stability and peace in a rather volatile region.”
Regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, she reaffirmed the Czech Republic's support for a negotiated two-state solution as the most viable path towards lasting peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians.
“The intensity of Czech-Jordanian bilateral talks and the level of consultations clearly demonstrate the mutual trust between our countries,” Kucerova said.
