Commenting on Thursday’s car-ramming attack in Munich, Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said Hungary is always concerned by reports of the "serious security challenges" in Germany.
Minister Szijjártó said Hungary’s interest lies in a strong and stable Germany, adding that the better the German economy was doing the better Hungary’s growth prospects would be.
"That’s why any news of instability, an economic downturn or irrational decisions is bad news for us," a ministry statement quoted him as saying.
"And, of course, we follow with concern reports of the serious security challenges in Germany -- of which there have unfortunately been plenty lately," he said in Miskolc, in north-eastern Hungary.
"Obviously these serious security challenges can be traced back to serious political mistakes, but the German people will get the chance to address all of this next week," Minister Szijjártó said, referring to the upcoming German federal election.
Minister Szijjártó said the safety of the public and investments was guaranteed in Hungary, which, along with predictability, was crucial for economic growth.
"And it is this safe environment and predictability that all investors can find in Hungary," he added.
