Hungary’s government sees nothing in its cooperation with China that would „tangibly” harm fundamental US interests in areas such as national security, Levente Magyar, state secretary of the foreign ministry, said in connection with talks on the future of bilateral ties with US deputy national security adviser for European affairs in Washington, DC. The aim of the talks was to ensure that the two countries come closer or „at least don’t drift further apart than they already have”, Magyar said. „The beginning and the end of Hungarian decisions are Hungarian interests, the security and economic welfare of Hungarians,” he added.
