We are proud that the Liechtenstein government agreed to the establishment of the consular representation, which will certainly contribute to deepening the friendship and improving cooperation between our two wonderful countries and nations,

he summed up.

Finally, the minister stated that the opening of the consulate and the development of bilateral relations clearly show how important it would be to restore mutual respect in international political life.

Today we see hostility, wars, armed conflicts, and disputes dominating world politics. And once again, the world is heading down the undesirable path of blocification,

he warned. FM Szijjarto stressed that Hungary had already lost out once on such divisions, and is therefore more interested in strengthening connections and promoting diplomacy.

Instead of hostility and wars, we stand for global cooperation based on respect,

he concluded.
