捷克駐成都總領事諾子博（Zbynek Noha）先生

2016年5月20日，捷克共和國駐成都總領事諾子博(Zbynek Noha)來到重慶，出席中國歐盟商會西南分會舉辦的“2016歐洲日慶典暨新任捷克駐成都總領事歡迎酒會”，并接受了本刊記者的專訪。

捷克駐成都總領事館于2015年9月正式開館，2016年2月，諾子博出任捷克駐成都總領事。從今年2月開始，捷克駐成都總領事館已為中國居民發放簽證超過1000份。其中，重慶市民申請的大部分是前往捷克的旅游簽證。同時，捷克駐成都總領事館也為在中國西南地區的捷克人提供服務。

諾子博透露，今年6月，捷克在重慶設立的簽證中心即將開張。屆時，重慶市民既可前往捷克駐成都總領事館申請簽證，也可選擇在重慶的簽證中心申請。對于計劃去捷克等申根國家的旅游、商務等人士來說，只要滿足申根簽證的申請條件，申辦手續都是非常便捷的。他還表示，“捷克人民熱情友好，城市建筑風景迷人，歡迎重慶市民去參觀、投資和留學。”

捷克共和國是中國的友好國家，有著良好的投資環境，高度發達的技術產業以及友善的人文環境。習近平主席于2016年3月對捷克共和國進行國事訪問，發表了兩國關于建立戰略伙伴關系的聯合聲明，旨在促進和拓展航空、金融服務、新興技術、汽車工業和機械等合作領域。

諾子博說，重慶是中國內陸開放高地，國家中心城市之一，文化歷史悠久，市場潛力巨大。從地理上看，捷克首都布拉格正處在歐洲的中心位置，因此捷克被譽為“歐洲心臟”。捷克的勞動力素質、工業化程度都比較高，擁有完善的基礎設施，能夠通達其他歐洲國家。許多跨國企業在捷克設立機構，正是因為捷克具有輻射歐洲其他國家的優勢。他相信，重慶和捷克在產業、投資以及文化教育等領域有著進一步友好合作的空間。

捷克的通用航空產業發展水平全球領先，捷克所生產的輕型飛機具有飛行速度快、航程距離遠等特點，適合用作私人商業飛行和旅游飛行。目前，捷克的個別型號的輕型飛機已經獲得了中國民航總局頒發的適航證，諾子博說，希望看到越來越多的捷克通用飛機從重慶起飛。此外，他希望捷克的納米科技、生物科技，以及波西米亞水晶、食品等經貿領域能與重慶尋求合作。

5月19日至22日舉行的2016年第十九屆“渝洽會”，捷克作為“一帶一路”沿線國家參會，為重慶市民帶來了舉世聞名的國寶級品牌和產品。諾子博介紹，捷克有700多年歷史的比爾森啤酒，連續32年取得由歐盟頒授的多項權威認證的天然有機護膚品菠丹妮，擁有百年歷史的世界級國寶佩卓夫(Petrof)鋼琴、摩瑟（Moser）水晶等已經來到重慶。消費者通過了解和選購這些品牌的產品，可以從中窺見捷克這個國家的氣質和魅力。

關于“歐洲日”

1950年5月9日，羅貝爾·舒曼（時任法國外交部長）為了維護不可或缺的和平關系，提出建立一個有組織的歐洲。這個后來稱為“舒曼宣言”的提議被認為是建立如今歐盟（28個成員國）的開始。因此，除了旗幟、歌曲、座右銘和單一貨幣（歐元）代表了歐洲聯盟的政治實體之外，5月9日同樣成為了歐洲標志（歐洲日）。通過歐洲日舉辦的活動和慶祝，使歐洲人民之間走得更近。

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.
