Czech–Latvian
Club (Česko–lotyšský klub, or ČLK in Czech language)
is a non-governmental, non-political interest society
according to the law No. 83/1990 of the Czech Republic
about associating of citizens. It was founded in 1990
(June 22) and continues in historical tradition of
friendship between the Czech and the Latvian nations,
especially in the activities of the Czech–Latvian
Society, which has existed in the period between the two
world wars.
The
aim of the Czech–Latvian Club is to conduce to the all-round
development of contacts between Czechia and Latvia in the
field of culture, education, tourism and economy, to
promote and popularize the history and the present time of
the Latvian nation, its culture and language. Czech–Latvian
Club intimately co-operates with the Latvian Cultural
Centre at the Embassy of the Latvian Republic in Prague.
The
Czech–Latvian Club was founded by the friends of Latvia,
who had co-arranged demonstrations and petitions for
accepting the renascent independence of the Baltic
republics (Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia) in the years of
1990–1991. About 30 thousands Czechoslovak citizens
joined these activities by their signatures. Since 1993
the Czech–Latvian Club co-operates with the Embassy of
the Latvian Republic in Prague, where the Latvian Cultural
Centre was founded in 1997.
The
Czech–Latvian Club has about 80 members at present and
is the most active one among the interest societies, which
are dealing with the relationships between Czechia and the
Baltic countries.
