Summary/Abstract: In 2015, for the first time since 2011, there has been a change of the decisive value and strategic framework of multilateral co-operation or, as the case may be, of the whole Czech foreign policy. On 13 July, the new Concept of the Foreign Policy of the Czech Republic was approved.1 It follows up the concept from 20112 as well as the programme statement of the government and tries to reflect the changes in the world political order too. This concept has identified three decisive global objectives, which will form the basic outline of the content of this chapter again: a) Security; b) Human dignity and human rights and c) Prosperity and sustainable development.
