Overview
The United States looks to the Czech Republic as a partner in issues ranging from Afghanistan to the Balkans and seeks opportunities to strengthen this relationship. The Czech Republic joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on March 12, 1999, and the European Union (EU) on May 1, 2004. As a member of both the United Nations and the World Trade Organization, the Czech Republic maintains diplomatic relations with more than 85 countries.
Between 1990 and 1997, USAID delivered $169 million to support the Czech Republic in its transformation from a state-controlled economy under authoritarian rule to a market-oriented democracy. Aid from the American people focused on just and democratic governance, economic growth, health and social services, and environmental protections. Al-though the USAID Mission in Prague closed its doors in 1997, the legacy of USAID development assistance has endured.
