Summary/Abstract: This chapter covers the area of the Far East (FE), namely the People’s Republic of China (PRC), both Korean states, Japan, Taiwan, and Mongolia. Similarly to the former chapters on the Far East in this monograph, this group includes also Vietnam be-cause it represents an important country for the Czech Republic and it has not been processed in an independent chapter on South-East Asia yet. The Czech Republic has no specific political interests in the FE area; it shares the mainstream EU and EU member states’ policy which supports the politically and security-wise balanced and stable situation in the Asian-Pacific area. The main interest of all participating European member states is the strengthening of economic contacts in the area of investment and trade in the exceptionally important economic region.
