Czech centres are a contributory organisation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, established to promote the Czech Republic abroad. The network of Czech Centres abroad is an active tool of the foreign policy of the Czech Republic in the area of public diplomacy. These centres interconnect presentations in the cultural arena and support of external economic relations and tourism. They provide informational services about the Czech Republic. The Czech Centres network consisted of the Czech Centres Headquarters in Prague, 24 branches abroad, and the Czech House Moscow. Czech Centres are members of the European Union of National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC).
