Foreign Minister meets leaders of Slovakia’s Hungarian Alliance party

Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, met the leaders of Slovakia’s Hungarian Alliance party, in preparation for Prime Minister Robert Fico’s visit to Budapest. Minister Szijjártó said on Facebook that he and party head Krisztián Forró had reviewed the most important issues for Hungarians living in Slovakia. Minister Szijjártó said Hungary’s government was looking forward to the visit and pledged to emphasize “crucial” development projects at the talks. “We are ready to increase the number of border crossings between the two countries so that the border connects rather than separates people,” he said. Hopefully, “empty railways will fill up again, and there will be joint bus routes and new bridges,” he said.
