Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky says China's ambassador was summoned to ‘make Chinese side understand that such activities have serious implications for bilateral relations'

Czech Republic on Wednesday held China responsible for cyberattacks on its Foreign Ministry's network.

Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky said they have determined that the most recent attack on the ministry's network came from Chinese hackers.

“I have summoned the Chinese ambassador to make the Chinese side understand that such activities have serious implications for bilateral relations,” on X.

Also commenting on the development, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said: “Today, the EU holds a Chinese state-backed actor responsible for a malicious cyber campaign targeting Czechia.”

“This is a clear and unacceptable violation of international norms,” she added.
