At noon on June 1, Legislative Yuan President Daniel K.Y. Han (韓國瑜) welcomed Czech Senate President Miloš Vystrčil and his delegation to the Legislative Yuan. President Han was joined by Legislative Yuan Vice President Dr. Johnny C. Chiang (江啟臣), KMT Legislator Wan Mei-Ling, Convener of the Taiwan-Czech Republic Parliamentary Amity Association, DPP Legislator Dr. Fan Yun and TPP Legislator Dr. Chen Ching-Lung.

韓院長等人親自在立法院大門親迎，並由「中華民國與捷克國會友好聯誼會」會長萬美玲委員獻花予韋德齊參議長，嗣進入立法院大門川堂，陪同訪賓於立法院貴賓簽名簿上簽名留念。致詞時，韓院長首先代表立法院誠摯歡迎韋德齊參議長時隔六年再度率團訪台，並對捷克長年堅定支持台灣，以及聲援台灣的國際參與表達由衷感謝。院長強調，捷克的人口與土地規模雖然不大，但數十年來在內政與外交上成就卓越，特別是在前總統哈維爾（Václav Havel）領導下的絲絨革命，成功將政治體制轉型為民主制度，為世界各國樹立了民主典範，期盼未來能在共同的價值與信念下，持續推動兩國國會深化交流，促進台捷友誼歷久彌新。
President Han and the accompanying legislators personally welcomed President Vystrčil at the entrance to the Legislative Yuan. Legislator Wan, Convener of the Taiwan-Czech Republic Parliamentary Amity Association, presented a bouquet of flowers to President Vystrčil before escorting the delegation into the Legislative Yuan, where the guests signed the Legislative Yuan's guest book. In his remarks, President Han first warmly welcomed President Vystrčil on behalf of the Legislative Yuan for his return visit to Taiwan after six years. President Han then expressed his sincere appreciation for the Czech Republic's longstanding support for Taiwan and its consistent advocacy for Taiwan's international participation. President Han emphasized that although the Czech Republic is modest in both population and land area, it has achieved remarkable accomplishments in both domestic and foreign affairs over the past decades. He added that particularly under the leadership of former President Václav Havel, the Velvet Revolution successfully transformed the country's political system into a democracy, setting an inspiring example for countries around the world. President Han expressed his hope that, guided by the shared values and convictions of both sides, the two parliaments would continue to deepen exchanges and further strengthen the enduring friendship between Taiwan and the Czech Republic.
韋德齊參議長表示此行為第二次訪問台灣，他回憶六年前在游錫堃前院長邀請下首度訪台，本次則在韓院長盛情邀請下再度來訪，充分證明台捷友誼不會因政黨更迭而有所改變。他特別介紹，訪團成員包括捷克已故的前參議長柯佳洛（Jaroslav Kubera）之女溫索娃（Vendula Vinšová）女士。柯佳洛前參議長是捷克政壇最早提出應訪問台灣的政治人物，此行與溫索娃女士共同訪台，正是承襲其遺志。韋德齊參議長並當場向韓院長及貴賓展示繡有台捷友誼圖騰的背包，並致贈韓院長代表捷克參議院的「捷克之獅」雕像模型。他強調，「捷克之獅」象徵高尚與堅韌，無論遭受多少打擊都能再次堅強站起來，以此祝福兩國能像捷克之獅一樣具備堅忍不拔的精神，無論國際局勢如何更迭，台捷都能攜手向前。
President Vystrčil noted that this was his second visit to Taiwan. He recalled making his first visit six years ago at the invitation of former Legislative Yuan President You Si-Kun, and said that his return at President Han's invitation clearly demonstrates that the friendship between Taiwan and the Czech Republic remains steadfast regardless of changes in political leadership. President Vystrčil gave a special introduction to Ms. Vendula Vinšová, daughter of the late former Senate President Jaroslav Kubera, as a member of the delegation. President Vystrčil also noted that former Senate President Kubera was among the first Czech political leaders to propose a visit to Taiwan, and that Ms. Vinšová's participation in the delegation carries forward his legacy. Additionally, President Vystrčil showed President Han and all the participants a backpack embroidered with a Taiwan-Czech friendship motif and presented President Han with a model of the "Czech Lion," the symbol of the Czech Senate. He explained that the Czech Lion symbolizes nobility and resilience, standing strong despite adversity, and expressed his hope that Taiwan and the Czech Republic would likewise continue to move forward together with unwavering determination regardless of changes in the international landscape.
致詞及合影完畢，韓院長偕訪團進入會客室進行雙邊對談。江副院長致詞時表示，過去兩年代表韓院長及立法院率跨黨派立委團赴捷克訪問，受到參議長及捷克國會盛情款待，今日能與韓院長共同接待參議長一行深感榮幸，希望參議長此行與六年前一樣收穫滿滿，認識很多好朋友。
Following the remarks and a group photograph, President Han and the delegation proceeded to the reception room for bilateral talks. In his remarks, Vice President Chiang said that over the past two years he had led cross-party delegations of legislators to the Czech Republic on behalf of President Han and the Legislative Yuan, where they received warm hospitality from President Vystrčil and the Czech Parliament. He said it was a great honor to welcome President Vystrčil to the Legislative Yuan together with President Han and expressed his hope that the delegation's visit would be as fruitful as the one six years ago, and that they would make many new friends during their stay.
「中華民國與捷克國會友好聯誼會」會長萬美玲委員憶及出訪捷克之經驗，續表示台捷在各領域已展現豐富的合作成果，特別是台捷開通直航後，為觀光、商業及教育交流帶來更多便利性。范雲委員誠摯歡迎參議長一行訪台，並表示對參議長六年前在立院發表的「我是台灣人」國會演說印象深刻，並感謝捷克連續六年提出支持台灣國際參與的議案，肯定捷克始終與民主陣營站在一起。蔡春綢委員則代表民眾黨誠摯歡迎參議長一行訪問台灣，並向訪賓介紹故鄉雲林北港的媽祖信仰文化，表示盼能促成台捷更多的文化交流。
Legislator Wan, Convener of the Taiwan-Czech Republic Parliamentary Amity Association, recalled her visits to the Czech Republic and noted that Taiwan and the Czech Republic have achieved fruitful cooperation across a wide range of fields. She added that the launch of direct flights between the two countries has further facilitated exchanges in tourism, business, and education. Legislator Fan warmly welcomed President Vystrčil and his delegation to Taiwan and said she remained deeply impressed by his parliamentary address, "I am Taiwanese," delivered at the Legislative Yuan six years ago. She also thanked the Czech Republic for proposing resolutions in support of Taiwan's international participation for six consecutive years and commended the country for consistently standing with the democratic community. Representing the Taiwan People's Party, TPP Legislator Tsai Chun-Chou also extended a warm welcome to the delegation and introduced the Mazu religious traditions of her hometown of Beigang in Yunlin County, expressing hope that Taiwan and the Czech Republic would further expand cultural exchanges.
韋德齊參議長感謝跨黨派委員的接待，認為政治人物應超越個人與黨派，堅持做有益於國家的事情；繼進一步肯定台灣在台捷韌性計畫、高教合作、台捷直航、醫療合作計畫以及對烏克蘭的人道援救計畫等方面，始終扮演至關重要的角色。參議長並邀請韓院長擇期率領跨黨派立法委員訪問捷克，持續深化台捷國會交流。
President Vystrčil thanked the legislators from across party lines for their warm reception. He remarked that politicians should rise above personal and partisan interests and remain committed to doing what is best for their countries. He further commended Taiwan for playing a vital role in the Taiwan-Czech Resilience Initiative, higher education cooperation, direct air services between Taiwan and the Czech Republic, medical cooperation projects, and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine. President Vystrčil also invited President Han to lead a cross-party delegation of legislators to visit the Czech Republic to further deepen parliamentary exchanges between the two countries.
雙邊會談後，韓院長特別致贈韋德齊參議長「台捷代表花卉花瓶」，以精緻手工彩繪瓷瓶融入雙方象徵性之花卉與捷克國旗圖騰，彰顯台捷民主夥伴關係及深厚的友誼。互贈紀念品後，雙方隨即展開午宴交流。席間韓院長、江副院長及委員與參議長一行分別就台捷國會交流、學生交換、經貿交流、體育文化等議題進行廣泛且深入的意見交換。餐宴歷時90分鐘，氣氛熱絡友好，賓主盡歡。
Following the bilateral talks, President Han presented President Vystrčil with a handcrafted porcelain vase featuring the representative flowers of Taiwan and the Czech Republic together with motifs inspired by the Czech national flag, symbolizing the democratic partnership and enduring friendship between the two countries. After exchanging commemorative gifts, both sides proceeded to a luncheon. During the luncheon, President Han, Vice President Chiang, the attending legislators, as well as President Vystrčil and his delegation held extensive and in-depth discussions on parliamentary exchanges, student exchange programs, economic and trade cooperation, and sports and cultural exchanges between Taiwan and the Czech Republic. The luncheon lasted approximately 90 minutes and concluded in a warm and cordial atmosphere.
午宴結束，韓院長與韋德齊參議長接受媒體聯訪。韓院長於回應記者提問時指出，本年8月1日台捷直航將再增班次，有助拉近台捷在經貿、文教與觀光旅遊交流；韓院長亦指出，中華民國對外處境艱辛，十分感謝捷克長期在國際場合聲援台灣，立法院作為最高民意機關，將在憲法架構下，以開放的態度，透過國會外交拓展及深化與各國關係，未來亦將持續支持台捷雙邊合作，其盼台捷關係能成為台灣與其他非邦交國家交流之典範。
Following the luncheon, President Han and President Vystrčil took questions from the media. In response to reporters' questions, President Han noted that additional flights on the Taiwan-Czech direct route will be introduced beginning on August 1, further promoting economic, educational, cultural, and tourism exchanges between the two countries. He also remarked that Taiwan continues to face a challenging international environment and expressed his sincere appreciation for the Czech Republic's longstanding support for Taiwan in the international arena. President Han emphasized that, as Taiwan's highest representative body, the Legislative Yuan will continue, within the constitutional framework and with an open-minded approach, to expand and deepen Taiwan's relations with countries around the world through parliamentary diplomacy. He added that the Legislative Yuan will continue to support bilateral cooperation between Taiwan and the Czech Republic and expressed his hope that Taiwan-Czech relations will serve as a model for Taiwan's engagement with other countries with which it does not maintain formal diplomatic relations.
韋德齊參議長回應媒體提問時強調，本次訪台已取得捷克參議院近八成參議員的支持；台灣與捷克同為民主國家，兩國關係建立在互惠之基礎上，彼此在國際上也是不可或缺的好朋友，應當持續深化交流。參議長強調，參議院與立法院的合作合情合理，未來亦誠摯歡迎韓院長率團訪問捷克。（2026/06/01）
In response to media questions, President Vystrčil emphasized that this visit to Taiwan had received the support of nearly 80 percent of the members of the Czech Senate. He noted that Taiwan and the Czech Republic are both democratic countries whose relationship is built on reciprocity, and that the two sides are indispensable friends in the international community who should continue to deepen exchanges. President Vystrčil added that cooperation between the Czech Senate and the Legislative Yuan is both natural and appropriate, and he once again warmly welcomed President Han to lead a delegation to visit the Czech Republic in the future.
