The minister pointed out: "Since we believe that we must take the help where it is needed instead of bringing the trouble here, the Hungarian government has decided to offer Chad a complex package of assistance. In recent weeks, preparatory work began in order to open a humanitarian and development center as part of the Hungary Helps program, and for several weeks a medical and humanitarian mission provided help to the local population.

"With this draft resolution, the government proposes to send a military mission of up to 200 troops to Chad in the spring of 2024 to help contain migration, fight terrorism and support humanitarian aid, " Kristof  Szalay-Bobrovniczky recently said.

The defense minister highlighted that the planned Hungarian military mission is also significant from a professional perspective, as it can be launched in cooperation with other nations present in the region, but as Hungary's independent engagement.
