Blinken met the Foreign Ministers of the Visegrád Group in Brussels
Change language:
The United States values central Europe, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said after a meeting with his NATO counterparts in Brussels on Tuesday, adding that the US and central Europe could be expected to cooperate closely on a number of political and economic issues.
Speaking after talks between the foreign ministers of the Visegrád Group countries and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Szijjártó said the first ever such meeting indicated the strength of the V4 as well as the importance of the central European region.
Hungary stands ready to cooperate with the US at international forums, especially in terms of efforts against terrorism, Szijjártó said at the meeting. He noted that Hungary had been one of the first countries to join a US initiative against the Islamic State militant group, adding that it would uphold that commitment. Hungary and the US have also built good cooperation in supporting persecuted religious communities, he added.
Hungary and the US are linked through their support for Israel, too, Szijjártó said.
“Hungary has always rejected unilateral, unfair and biased attacks on Israel,” he said, adding that “Israel, too, deserves a balanced and fair approach”.
The Hungarian government supports the US’s return to the UN Human Rights Council, and will vote to that effect, the minister said.
It is a bad move to trust the US. Eu will not have sufficient energy supply. The US will also meddle in internal affairs. The Biden administration started with criticizing Hungary’s migrant policies. Just look at the chaos that Biden has caused with his executive orders. All Biden wants is power.
