The United States of America and Czechia Sign Memorandum of Understanding To Counter Foreign State Information Manipulation [ https://www.state.gov/the-united-states-of-america-and-czechia-sign-memorandum-of-understanding-to-counter-foreign-state-information-manipulation/ ] 05/30/2024 07:32 AM EDT
Office of the Spokesperson
Today, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Czechia Jan Lipavský signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to strengthen cooperation between the United States and Czechia on countering foreign state information manipulation.
Czechia is the 17th country across Europe, Africa, East Asia, and North America to endorse the U.S. Department of State’s Framework to Counter Foreign State Information Manipulation [ https://www.state.gov/the-framework-to-counter-foreign-state-information-manipulation/ ]. This coalition of countries is unified by the shared recognition that foreign state information manipulation, which includes disinformation and propaganda, is a transnational security threat to democratic societies that poisons social discourse, exacerbates societal divisions, and undermines faith in democratic institutions. Through this MOU, the United States and Czechia intend to expand information sharing, build capacity for critical counter-disinformation programming, and align government policies around the five key action areas established in the Framework.
This MOU advances the United States’ and Czechia’s shared interest in securing a free and fact-based global information ecosystem.
