Hungary and Japan can join forces in the field of environmental protection, Peter Szijjarto declared in Tokyo. At the Tokyo Metropolitan Government office, he handed over a Hungarian-made Kuube smart bench, underscoring that although Hungary is nearly nine thousand kilometers away from Japan, distance does not matter when there is friendship between the two nations.

Szijjarto on Japan–Hungary Cooperation

The minister stressed that Hungary has always valued Japan’s leading role in transforming the global economy through high-tech innovation.

Today, this dialogue based on mutual respect meets high technology,

he added.

The innovative, solar-powered smart bench produced by Kuube is, according to Mr Szijjarto, a prime example of Hungarian engineering excellence, operating in a fully self-sustaining way.

The way this smart bench operates perfectly aligns with Tokyo’s zero-emission strategy,

he said, welcoming the ambitious goal of the Japanese capital to reduce harmful emissions to zero by 2050. The foreign minister emphasized that by handing over the smart bench, Hungary and Japan are symbolically linking their efforts in favor of sustainability.

By presenting this bench today, we are joining our efforts to find sustainable solutions that will allow the functioning of major cities to protect our environment,

Hungary's Foreign Minister concluded.
