Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto attended the UN Security Council’s ministerial-level open debate Women in Peacekeeping in New York on Thursday.
“If we succeed in preventing situations in which people are forced to leave their homes, then we can also succeed in stopping migration processes instead of managing them”, he said. According to Kormany.hu, he stressed that “Hungary is contributing to UN peacekeeping missions and will continue to do so in future”.
“The Hungarian government is prepared to facilitate this because it believes that peacekeeping is an important instrument to also enable the handling of the global challenges posed by migration”, he added.
