Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said Hungary’s interest lies in Romania having a stable government, the constant development of bilateral ties and the situation of ethnic Hungarians in Transylvania improving.
Minister Szijjártó said the strong showing in the Romanian general election by the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (RMDSZ) had provided an "excellent basis" for the party to again be part of the government coalition in Bucharest.
He said the experience had shown that it was easier for Hungary to work with a Romanian government that included RMDSZ. "It always made it easier to achieve results that are important to both countries and both nations," he said.
"We are prepared to work together this time as well, and we wish RMDSZ and the new Romanian government coalition much success," the minister said.
Meanwhile, Minister Szijjártó said Barna Tanczos and Attila Cseke, who will again serve as ministers in the new government, had rightfully earned recognition during their previous tenures as ministers, adding that Hungary was "confident that they will do an excellent job this time as well".
