Good relations between the United States and Russia are in the interest of Central Europe, according to the foreign minister.
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó has informed Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov that Hungary has an interest in the normalisation of American-Russian relations. Mr. Szijjártó met with his Russian counterpart on the previous evening in Moscow.
“We have learned history’s clear lesson that if East and West, Russia and the United States, maintain good relations, then that is good for Central Europe, but if there exists a bad relationship between the eastern and western powers, then Central Europe always ends up on the losing end”, the minister emphasised. With relation to European security, Hungary has an interest in achieving peace in Syria and is extremely grateful for all international efforts to achieve this goal, he added.
