“At these European foreign ministers’ council meetings, many decisions are made that affect Hungary’s relations with non-EU countries — countries with which cooperation is critically important for Hungary from economic, security, political, and energy supply perspectives. With these actors, these third countries, consultations must take place depending on the decisions that may be made at these meetings. There is nothing surprising about this,” he added.
For Hungary, Russia is an important partner, for example in terms of energy supply (…) I also regularly consult with important partners such as Turkey and Israel. I also consult with the United States when there are important issues at EU council meetings that affect Hungarian-US cooperation. I consult with all of our key partners,
he listed.
The minister also pointed out that no major secrets are even discussed at EU Foreign Affairs Council meetings. “Nothing happens at these meetings that Politico does not write about beforehand, that fellow politicians aren’t tweeting about in real time, or that isn’t followed by a press conference. Only someone who’s never been to a Foreign Affairs Council meeting would fall for such nonsense,” he said.
Regarding reports that in 2020 he helped arrange a meeting between the former Slovak and Russian prime ministers, he emphasized that this had already been reported before, and he had made it clear at the time that “this is one of the core functions of diplomacy.”
