This study examines Czechoslovak-Egyptian political relations in the first two decades of the Cold War, with their symbolic milestone being the state visit of a delegation led by President Antonín Novotný to Egypt in November 1966. This journey not only gained significant attention from Czechoslovak and global media but also served as a public declaration of mutual friendship and support between Czechoslovakia and Egypt. These two countries, which had experienced a period of close cooperation during the Suez Crisis, underwent a significant cooling of relations in the late 1950s and early 1960s due to ideological differences. Additionally, this trip was the first visit of Czechoslovak president in Egypt since the interwar period, making it an event that transcended the usual boundaries of bilateral relations between these two states. From a propaganda standpoint, it was also considered one of the important moments in the ongoing Cold War rivalry in the Third World.
