SZIJJÁRTÓ: EUROPE NEVER AGAIN SHOULD BE LEFT 'UNPROTECTED'

 

Europe must never again be left “unprotected” in strategic matters, the foreign ministers of Hungary and Denmark concluded at their talks via a videoconference. Péter Szijjártó and Jeppe Kofod discussed the current situation around, and the lessons of, the coronavirus pandemic. As both countries implemented effective and rigorous measures to contain the virus, they are now in the process of gradually lifting restrictions, Szijjártó said on Facebook. The two ministers were in agreement that the pandemic would very likely increase the pressure migration may pose to Europe.
Szijjártó said they agreed on the need to eliminate people smuggling rings, help the countries in trouble and make decisions on granting asylum outside the EU bloc. Szijjártó highlighted the role Danish businesses are playing in the Hungarian economy and pledged them government support for further job-creating investment projects.
