”What happens in the North African region also has an immediate effect on Europe, and accordingly Morocco’s stability is extremely important to the continent’s security”, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said in Rabat.
“Hungary views Morocco as a country that plays a key role in North African stability”, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó told Hungarian news agency MTI, according to the Kormány.hu website.

“Morocco is a particularly stable country, which has a favourable effect on North African processes. What happens in the North African region also has an immediate effect on Europe, and accordingly Morocco’s stability is extremely important to the continent’s security”, he stressed. “For this reason, disputes between Morocco and the EU must be resolved as soon as possible and the parties must return to the usual close strategic cooperation”, Mr. Szijjártó said.
