Hungary is “an island of commitment to values”, the minister of culture and innovation told a conference of Hungary’s cultural diplomats on Monday.
“It is our task to present our philosophy, values, our commitments, and the goal cannot be any other than making a group of islands out of a solitary one and then build a continent,” Balázs Hankó said in his address. “Our goal and mission is to communicate values, to create values, and stand up for normalcy,” the minister said. “In times of peril … we must have faith in the important role of culture representing values,” the minister said.
