| 29 April 2009 The Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic will host a Ministerial Conference “Building Migration Partnerships” as part of the Czech EU Presidency. The conference will take place in Prague 27–28 April 2009. The ambition of the Ministerial Conference is, through joint preparatory activities, to elaborate a new set of conclusions and ministerial recommendations which will enable the participating states to qualitatively improve joint relations towards genuine migration partnerships. This objective aims at providing support to the EU Global Approach to Migration in its Eastern and South-Eastern dimension and the principle has just recently been given a prominent place in the European Pact on Immigration and Asylum prepared by the French EU Presidency. The incoming Czech EU Presidency will be assisted by Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Turkey.
