Hungary wants to be the engine of cooperation between Central Europe and Central Asia, announced Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto said following talks with his Tajik counterpart.
“Hungary wants to be the engine of cooperation between Central Europe and Central Asia, in which Tajikistan could be one of its important partners”, said Mr Szijjarto. “Central Europe must be the flag-bearer with regard to the fact that Europe must indeed become more open towards more distant regions. Central Asia could be an important partner to Europe because of its energy sources, natural resources and economic potential”, he explained, adding Hungary and Tajikistan are both supporters of close cooperation between the two regions.
