Before heading for Brussels, the minster highlighted that this will be an important and difficult week, as increasingly severe and brutal wars are taking place around Hungary, and there are almost daily references to nuclear capabilities and atomic bombs. The risk of escalation is extremely high, he added.
It is no exaggeration to say we are living in an era of dangers. An era in which we Hungarians are constantly being pushed toward war,
he emphasized.
We will preserve Hungary’s peace and security. We guarantee that Hungary will not be dragged into any war. We will maintain Hungary’s peace and security in this age of perils, in this age of war escalation,
he underlined. Peter Szijjarto stressed that the government will protect Hungary’s peace and security even in the current extremely uncertain international environment, exactly as it did during the migration crisis and the coronavirus pandemic, and exactly as it has managed to keep Hungary out of the war in Ukraine so far.
This is what we will continue doing this week — at the Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, at the NATO summit in The Hague, and again in Brussels at the European Council meeting,
he concluded.
