Speaker Kövér after talks with Uzbek President Mirziyoyev: Hungary does not want to become an empire’s periphery
Change language:
Speaker of Parliament László Kövér held talks with Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in Parliament on Tuesday, Parliament’s press office told MTI.
At the meeting, Kövér highlighted the “deep-rooted” sympathy between the two countries and its peoples, adding that both nations were proud of their history, culture and traditions, and valued the independence they had fought for.
“We are grateful for the gestures Uzbekistan has made towards Hungary, and we greatly appreciate our dialogue based on mutual respect,” Kövér said, adding that the two countries wanted to extend their strategic partnership to closer cooperation between their parliaments and strengthening the relations between their friendship groups and committees.
Mirziyoyev expressed his appreciation for Hungary’s active role in the Organisation of Turkic States, and that like Uzbekistan, Hungary also strove for the operation of multilateral diplomatic relations based on mutual and equal cooperation.
Hungary is part of the periphery of the Russian Empire. The EU is a democratic organization and it is pure propaganda for a lunatic like Kover to ever insinuate that it is an empire.
