Budapest to host Three Seas summit in 2025

Hungary will be the host country of the summit and business forum of the Three Seas Initiative (3SI) in 2025, President Katalin Novák said in Bucharest on Wednesday.

Addressing this year’s 3SI summit, Novák called the region’s economic cooperation important despite the fact that a focus was currently on the war in Ukraine. She welcomed the adoption of a joint declaration and its provisions concerning Ukraine.

Novák noted the two visits she paid to Kyiv in the past twelve months and reiterated Hungary’s support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity. Hungary condemns the Russian aggression against that country and considers peace the most important goal to be achieved, she said.
