Egypt and France emphasize the priority of re -launching humanitarian aid to Gaza
What does the Czech President want from his Mauritania visit?
In the international competition in the Sahel and West Africa region, and in the international competition in the continent, Czech President Peter Beville’s Navychat visit ended on Tuesday, which appeared on the economic surface, but the deep security and strategic measurements revealed between the lines.
The 3 -Day visit drops on an African tour called Mauritania as its first station, and this led to negotiations organized by the presidents of the two countries, during which the “Protocol for the business and participation in the business sector” is signed between the private sector in two countries, and the most technical knowledge and investigation of Mauritanian presidency, “
The strategic partner
Mouritanian President Mohammed Ould Sheik Al -Ghazwani described the Czech Republic a “strategic partner”, and said, “The two countries can unite their efforts for their general interest, thanks to the” check industrial experience in the economic transformation sector and the Mouritanian ambition, “he said.
Mauritania explained that “by its stability, natural resources and human capital promise, as he says, as he says, as he says, as he says, as he says.
When it comes to the Czech President, “Before emphasizing the importance of contributing to the inclusion of the political, economic and security sectors”, he declared that his country was interested in Mauritania as a stable partner and with many investment opportunities in this area.
Beyond the economy
Although the Czech Republic is not one of the main forces in Africa, the recent action towards Mauritania in the tense coastal suburbs, reflects the growing perception of mid-Europe, reflecting the importance of Mauritania’s “geographical position” in security and economic context.
Before the financial file emerged during the visit of Navychchat’s Czech President, the security file for the relationship between the two countries was only the embassy for anyone, as Mauritania was associated with the check ambassador to Moritania Morocador, and belonged to the Mauritan Ambassador to the Czech Republic Germany.
In November 2024, the Czech agreed to send 30 soldiers from special forces to Mauritania from special forces to train the army, which would face the challenges of the NATO Program (NATO) to increase the capabilities of friendly army in the conflict areas and to threaten the challenges of European security starting from the south.
In this case, an officer of the Czech Defense Ministry, Mauritania, is an important gateway, and Russia is trying to destabilize the area from it to remove the West from it, especially in a clear indication of the Russian-Western competition for the impact in Africa, especially Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger.
The military industry
As his own, Mouritania tries to increase its position as a trusted partner in the region, taking advantage of its relative security stability compared to its neighbors and in the fields of energy (gas, green hydrogen) and the geographical location between Magre and coastal countries.
Also, NATO is the only partner in the region of Mauritania Sahel, which is close to European beaches and attempts to adopt safety and military partnership with alliance countries as part of combining general safety losses.
Navychchat is openly looking to increase cooperation with the Czech Republic and openly looks at the check technology and military organizations, the possibility of replacing the delay in the weapon race in the region, especially after the coastal countries have been allied with Russia and after the sophisticated weapons and new technology in the area.
By contracting with Navchat, Pragge, it aims to transfer military and civilian technology, establish army and develop its fighting capabilities and attract investment in cyber security and military infrastructure.
Although the military cooperation was still quiet, the nature of the Czech delegation, along with the president, along with the President’s visit, revealed real intentions in the presence of representatives of arms manufacturers and (Omnipol, SZ, Excalber International).
The capabilities of these companies vary, but includes the arms and military equipment industry, air protection systems, running plane, intelligence systems, as well as cyber security, safe communication systems, tanks, soldiers and artillery systems.
According to observers, these are not “general trade” companies, but the defensive industrial weapons of the Czech State, which allows the desire of Prague to establish a protective fireplace on the outskirts of the coast, allowing them to be problematic – and in an awkward security scene.
Although these companies have not revealed any meeting with security leaders or Mauritanian Army officials, their tour has been recalled in the three days they spent on NauChot, their visit last February. At the invitation of Czech Defense Minister Yana Chirochwa, the Mauritanian army announced at the time, unless they were discussed with the way “security challenges in the Sahel region, along with the ways to develop and develop bilateral military cooperation.”
He went toward Mauritania
The Czech Republic, which closed his embassy in 2022, decided to go strongly towards Mauritania, which can be described as a “strategic re -establishment in West Africa”, in the light of the “Russian character” of the area of the area, through the “Wagner” group or its regular alternatives.
In this case, experts say “the last line of defense” for the West on the coast of Mauritania, so the NATO countries are trying to strengthen the capabilities of the Mauritanian army, trying to strengthen his security partnership with the Czech Republic Maritania, as part of a wide strategy to have a wide strategy.
