Hungary has opened a new consulate in Malaga, marking its third diplomatic mission in Spain after the embassy in Madrid and the consulate general in Barcelona, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said at the inauguration ceremony of the consulate on Wednesday.
“In a world that is just restarting, when economic competition is picking up and people are again setting off on the road, there is great need for interest representation, assistance and diplomatic services on-site,” Szijjarto said.
He also said that tourism was among the greatest losers of the coronavirus pandemic, falling by 87 percent globally in the past year and revenues from the sector dropped by over a 1,000 billion dollars, endangering 100 million – 120 million jobs worldwide.
“People will now set off again and we must be prepared to be able to help our citizens when necessary during their travels abroad,”
