Hungary has a vested interest in Africa’s safe and predictable development, a key factor in European security, the foreign minister said after talks on Monday with his Liberian counterpart, Sara Beysolow Nyanti, on ways Hungarian companies can contribute to the development of Liberia’s digitalisation, water management and infrastructure. Péter Szijjártó said Hungary helps several African countries to preserve their economic and political stability. Szijjártó and Beysolow Nyanti discussed speeding up progress towards a bilateral cooperation agreement, and Hungary will raise the number of the grants offered to Liberian students to 25, as well as supporting Liberia’s application to become a non-permanent member of the UN’s Security Council.
