The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade negotiated about important spheres of cooperation in Slovenia.
“There are three major development projects underway or under negotiation in Hungarian-Slovenian cooperation, which serve Hungary’s energy security and interests to a high degree”, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó told MTI during his official visit to Ljubljana.
“The interconnection of the two countries’ gas systems is in process, which is on the list of priority EU investments, as well as the interconnection of the two countries’ electricity networks”, Mr. Szijjártó said. In addition, the expansion of the port of Koper and its connecting railway track has also begun.
The Minister pointed out that Hungary and Slovenia are also each other’s political allies with regard to the most important regional issues. According to Mr. Szijjártó, the two countries also have a similar view on mass illegal immigration. "In our view, Europe’s external borders must be protected and the causes of migration must be handled where they come into existence”, he stressed.
