Change language:
Hungary and Britain have concluded all agreements that specify the conditions of post-Brexit cooperation, Hungary’s minister of foreign affairs and trade said in London on Friday.
After attending official talks between Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his British counterpart Boris Johnson, Péter Szijjártó said that Hungary strives for the closest possible bilateral cooperation with Britain. The minister identified two strategic areas, namely the
energy and defence industries,
which he said would see even more intensive and promising cooperation in the period to come.
- More than 100,000 Hungarians live in the United Kingdom
- Over 140,000 Hungarians seeking to stay in Britain
Szijjártó noted that Shell was the first non-Russian energy company with whom Hungary had signed a long-term gas purchase agreement. He added that Hungary’s government seeks to expand cooperation with, and import more gas from, Shell. “Now we have a six-year contract on the purchase of 1.5 billion cubic metres of gas,” he said.
