Liptál: Wallachian traditions have met the culture of the Arabian Peninsula at the 57th International Folklore Festival, Liptál Festivities. Al‑Shahba Folk Arts Troupe from the Omani city of Nizwa has arrived in Liptál as one of the main international guests of this year’s festival.

Prague: The Czech-Omani Security Forum has concluded, but for Czech companies it may be only the beginning. Some companies see opportunities in Oman related to smart cities and security infrastructure, while others want to gain a better understanding of the local environment and find out how to enter the Omani market.

Prague: Modern security is no longer simply a question of who possesses better technology. The ability to respond quickly, listen to people within an organisation, protect data and prepare for technologies that are only beginning to emerge can be equally important.

Prague: Trust, stability, modern technologies and strong industrial capabilities. These were the main themes of the Czech-Omani Security Forum, held on 20 August at the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic in Prague.

Brno: The visit of a delegation from Oman’s National Defence College (NDC) to the Czech Republic continued on Wednesday with talks at the University of Defence in Brno. Following previous meetings focused on security policy, advanced technologies, artificial intelligence and opportunities for research cooperation, attention this time turned primarily to strategic education, security analysis and new forms of warfare.

Prague: Cyberattacks, artificial intelligence, drones, autonomous systems, the protection of critical infrastructure and the rapidly changing nature of warfare. In recent years, security has become one of the key issues shaping global politics and the economy. Cooperation between the Czech Republic and the Sultanate of Oman is now increasingly focusing on these challenges as well.
