Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said Hungary will urge efforts "to rebuild mutual trust".
Speaking after the United Nations disarmament conference in Geneva, Minister Szijjártó said in a Facebook post that Hungary had been "in the shadow of war" for the past three years. "Weapons worth hundreds of billions of euros and dollars have been poured into it and open references have been made to the possible use of nuclear weapons," he said.
"No one knows what will happen to the awesome amount of weaponry when the war is, hopefully, over. Who will use them in future, where, and against whom?"
"The longer the war goes on and the more weapons there are, the more people will die," Minister Szijjártó said.
"Hungary and the peace-loving part of the world have an interest in seeing resumed US-Russian dialogue leading to the resumption of the disarmament process," he said.
"This will need mutual trust once more. I will urge the rebuilding of that trust ... in Geneva today," Minister Szijjártó added.
