Minister of Labor and Social Affairs

Petricek meets with U.S. Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo in Munich, Germany on February 14, 2020.

In May 2017, Petříček was appointed political deputy minister of labor and social affairs of the Czech Republic Michaela Marksová in the Cabinet of Bohuslav Sobotka. He actively supported Petr Dolínek against Miloslav Ludvík in deciding on the position of the leading ČSSD candidate for the 2017 Czech legislative election.[4]

In the 2018 Czech municipal elections, Petříček was the leading ČSSD candidate for the Prague 7 City Council, thus becoming the party's candidate for mayor of this district.[5] However, he failed to be elected to the city council.[6]

Minister of Foreign Affairs

At the beginning of October 2018, Miloš Zeman appointed Petříček as Minister of Foreign Affairs.[7] Petříček became the fifteenth member of Second Cabinet of Andrej Babiš, formed by the coalition entities ANO and ČSSD.[8]

Foreign policy positions

China

At the end of 2018, Petříček met Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi to discuss intergovernmental commission that would improve China-Czech Republic relations.[9] During the meeting with Chinese officials, Petříček did not want to explain on the issue of labor camps in Xinjiang, in which the Chinese government interned more than a million minority Uyghurs.[10] In January 2020, he stated that "we need to talk with China ans are interested in developing economic relations".[11]

Middle East

Petříček criticised the Assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, wanting a stronger EU stance on the event at the Council of Foreign Ministers. He supported the Iran nuclear deal.[12]

In November 2018, Petříček went on a two-day visit to Israel and spreaded criticism regarding the Israeli annexation on East Jerusalem, which Palestinians claimed as the capital of the State of Palestine.[13]

During a visit to Palestine in July 2019, Petříček assured the Palestinians that the Czech Republic would not recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.[14]

Personal life

Apart from his native Czech, Petříček speaks English, French, and Spanish.<ref="GoCR"/> Petříček has a daughter and son with his wife, Iva, whom he met during his studies.[15]
