Minister Szijjártó said "a possible new economic Cold War" and the world falling into new blocs were "a great threat" and were in sharp contrast with Hungary's interests.
Minister Szijjártó said "a possible new economic Cold War" and the world falling into new blocs were "a great threat" and were in sharp contrast with Hungary's interests.
"The ties of the two countries are once again characterised by mutual respect," Minister Szijjártó said.
The two parties agree on border protection and tightening migration regulations, which "could remedy one of Europe's greatest problems, the migration crisis," Minister Szijjártó said.
Minister Szijjártó said energy was "the most successful area of bilateral cooperation" between Hungary and France, adding that the sides were "in full agreement" on the use of nuclear energy.
The foreign minister said Europeans had cottoned on to the region's significance 10-12 years after the Hungarian government decided to intensify ties with the region.
The foreign minister said the bloc sorely needed new momentum, and this could be provided by Western Balkan countries.
Hungary has imported 275 million cubic metres of gas from Turkey this year, and the two countries have now agreed to continue the partnership.
Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said cooperation between the two countries had benefitted both in terms of ensuring energy supply.
Minister Szijjártó said on Facebook that there were 426 Hungarian nationals staying in Israel under consular protection.
"What a weekend!! A patriotic win at the neighbors, after one in Czechia," said Péter Szijjártó.
Minister Szijjártó warned that the failure of the world's biggest powers to speak to each other presented an "extraordinary risk" in terms of global security.
Péter Szijjártó said the Russian foreign minister always strived to accommodate the requests of the Hungarian government and was positive and open to resolving important matters affecting the sides.
As a neighbor of Ukraine, Hungary "has been living in the shadow of war" and facing its consequences by accepting 1.3 million refugees from the country, Minister Szijjártó said.
