Hungary FM: We Are Prime Example of Common Sense-Based Economic Success

The cooperation between Western and Eastern companies in Hungary shows that the world's economic leaders have not entirely lost their common sense, and that ideological approaches have not completely overridden rationality, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto said in Paris on Wednesday.

The minister welcomed the fact that OECD leaders, whose election was also supported by the Hungarian government, have preserved their common sense and have not allowed the political capture of the organization.

We, therefore, also support the OECD's enlargement strategy and welcome the intention to join expressed by Indonesia and Thailand, two countries  with large economies.

"The bottom line," he concluded, "is that the world's economic leaders seem to be giving us hope that they have not completely lost their common sense and that common sense and rational policies will prevail over policies based on ideologies and dogmatic approaches".
