Deputy Director of NÚKIB Martina Ulmanová Held Talks in Tokyo on Strengthening Cooperation in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence

Deputy Director of the National Office for Cyber and Information Security (NÚKIB) Martina Ulmanová, together with Cyber Attachée for the Indo-Pacific Veronika Kolek Netolická, attended the Global Cybersecurity Group meeting in Tokyo. During her official visit, she spoke at an international conference and held a series of bilateral meetings with key partners, particularly representatives of Japan’s National Cybersecurity Office (NCO) and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC). The discussions confirmed mutual interest in further developing cooperation in cybersecurity, protection of critical infrastructure, and the security aspects of deploying artificial intelligence.

At the meeting, Deputy Director Ulmanová presented the Czech Republic’s approach to building cybersecurity and implementing the National Cybersecurity Strategy 2026–2030, which emphasizes strengthening national resilience, developing professional capacities, and actively engaging in international cooperation.

“Cybersecurity is an ongoing process that requires international cooperation and the sharing of best practices across countries and sectors. International partnerships are a key prerequisite for an effective response to current threats,” said Deputy Director Martina Ulmanová.

A key part of the program included bilateral talks with representatives of the Japanese NCO, led by Director Yoichi Iida. The discussions followed up on the signing of a memorandum of cooperation between the two institutions and focused on its implementation through a joint action plan for the period 2026–2028. Both sides also confirmed their interest in regular high-level dialogue and further deepening strategic cooperation.

“We highly value our long-term cooperation with Japanese partners, which, thanks to the memorandum of cooperation, is now moving to an even more practical level. It is important for us that the various areas of cooperation are reflected in concrete activities, whether it’s information sharing, joint exercises, or the involvement of experts in international projects,” added Deputy Director Martina Ulmanová.

Another significant topic of the discussions was cooperation within NATO and the IP4 format, especially in connection with the organization of the next NATO Cyber Champions Summit. The Czech Republic, as the host country for 2026, shared its experiences and declared its readiness to support Japan, which will host the summit in 2027.

Further talks were held with representatives of Japan’s MIC and focused on the security aspects of artificial intelligence and the implementation of the Hiroshima AI Process initiative. This initiative represents an international framework for the development of safe, trustworthy, and responsible AI, responding to the rapid advancement of generative and advanced systems. The Czech Republic advocates a risk-based approach in this area, building on the European AI Act, and emphasizes the need to supplement the regulatory framework with practical security measures. The discussions confirmed a shared interest in strengthening AI security cooperation, sharing practical experiences, and developing mechanisms to protect advanced systems from misuse or manipulation.

The NÚKIB delegation also participated in expert discussions focused on critical infrastructure protection, public-private partnerships, and the impact of new technologies on cybersecurity.

The working visit program was complemented by meetings with the mission of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, which attended the SPEXA Space Business Forum and related networking activities, including a reception focused on connecting delegations. In the field of cybersecurity for space systems and satellite services, NÚKIB closely cooperates with the Ministry of Industry and Trade on the implementation of European programs such as Galileo PRS and GOVSATCOM, ensuring their security aspects in the Czech Republic.

The meetings in Tokyo thus built on previous bilateral activities and confirmed the shared interest of both countries in strengthening security and stability in cyberspace.
