Kulhánek also has meetings with senior UN officials and counterparts from various countries. He will also conduct a bilateral visit to the United States focused on meetings with prominent Czech scientists and entrepreneurs.

The general debate of the 76th session of the UN General Assembly will begin on Tuesday, with US President Joe Biden speaking. The meeting closes on 27 September.
