Visegrad Group (V4) is an alliance of four Central European states that aims to promote cooperation and stability in the wider Central European region.

The group established the International Visegrad Fund. Its mission is to support the development of closer cooperation and to strengthen the mutual ties between those V4 countries. The Fund financially supports projects in the following areas: culture, science and research, education, youth exchanges, tourism development and cross-border cooperation.

The V4 also set up a Visegrad Battlegroup, which includes joint military exercises, coordinated defense provision and joint defense development in the four European states.
