2016年5月20日，捷克共和国驻成都总领事诺子博(Zbynek Noha)来到重庆，出席中国欧盟商会西南分会举办的“2016欧洲日庆典暨新任捷克驻成都总领事欢迎酒会”，并接受了本刊记者的专访。

捷克驻成都总领事馆于2015年9月正式开馆，2016年2月，诺子博出任捷克驻成都总领事。从今年2月开始，捷克驻成都总领事馆已为中国居民发放签证超过1000份。其中，重庆市民申请的大部分是前往捷克的旅游签证。同时，捷克驻成都总领事馆也为在中国西南地区的捷克人提供服务。

诺子博透露，今年6月，捷克在重庆设立的签证中心即将开张。届时，重庆市民既可前往捷克驻成都总领事馆申请签证，也可选择在重庆的签证中心申请。对于计划去捷克等申根国家的旅游、商务等人士来说，只要满足申根签证的申请条件，申办手续都是非常便捷的。他还表示，“捷克人民热情友好，城市建筑风景迷人，欢迎重庆市民去参观、投资和留学。”

捷克共和国是中国的友好国家，有着良好的投资环境，高度发达的技术产业以及友善的人文环境。习近平主席于2016年3月对捷克共和国进行国事访问，发表了两国关于建立战略伙伴关系的联合声明，旨在促进和拓展航空、金融服务、新兴技术、汽车工业和机械等合作领域。

诺子博说，重庆是中国内陆开放高地，国家中心城市之一，文化历史悠久，市场潜力巨大。从地理上看，捷克首都布拉格正处在欧洲的中心位置，因此捷克被誉为“欧洲心脏”。捷克的劳动力素质、工业化程度都比较高，拥有完善的基础设施，能够通达其他欧洲国家。许多跨国企业在捷克设立机构，正是因为捷克具有辐射欧洲其他国家的优势。他相信，重庆和捷克在产业、投资以及文化教育等领域有着进一步友好合作的空间。

捷克的通用航空产业发展水平全球领先，捷克所生产的轻型飞机具有飞行速度快、航程距离远等特点，适合用作私人商业飞行和旅游飞行。目前，捷克的个别型号的轻型飞机已经获得了中国民航总局颁发的适航证，诺子博说，希望看到越来越多的捷克通用飞机从重庆起飞。此外，他希望捷克的纳米科技、生物科技，以及波西米亚水晶、食品等经贸领域能与重庆寻求合作。

5月19日至22日举行的2016年第十九届“渝洽会”，捷克作为“一带一路”沿线国家参会，为重庆市民带来了举世闻名的国宝级品牌和产品。诺子博介绍，捷克有700多年历史的比尔森啤酒，连续32年取得由欧盟颁授的多项权威认证的天然有机护肤品菠丹妮，拥有百年历史的世界级国宝佩卓夫(Petrof)钢琴、摩瑟（Moser）水晶等已经来到重庆。消费者通过了解和选购这些品牌的产品，可以从中窥见捷克这个国家的气质和魅力。

关于“欧洲日”

1950年5月9日，罗贝尔·舒曼（时任法国外交部长）为了维护不可或缺的和平关系，提出建立一个有组织的欧洲。这个后来称为“舒曼宣言”的提议被认为是建立如今欧盟（28个成员国）的开始。因此，除了旗帜、歌曲、座右铭和单一货币（欧元）代表了欧洲联盟的政治实体之外，5月9日同样成为了欧洲标志（欧洲日）。通过欧洲日举办的活动和庆祝，使欧洲人民之间走得更近。

On 20th May 2016, Mr. Zbynek Noha, the consulate of Czech Republic in Chengdu visited Chongqing and attended the “2016 anniversary of the day of Europe and the welcoming banquet for newly appointed Czech consulate in Chengdu”, which is sponsored by European Union Chamber of Commerce in China.
