The minister emphasized the political achievements of Romania's Hungarian minority and highlighted recent significant progress in relations between the two countries. In his post, he wrote:

Advancing Hungary–Romania cooperation benefits everyone - Hungarians and Romanians alike. The past years have proven this: Schengen membership, new border crossings, growing trade, and improved energy security.

Mr. Szijjarto added that the new government in Romania, formed with the participation of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (RMDSZ), can provide fresh momentum to this progress. He emphasized: 

This morning, I’m off to Bucharest!
