Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó on Friday attended a ceremony to inaugurate the new building of Hungary’s consulate general in Munich.
In his address, Szijjártó said that Hungarians have worked and prayed a lot for their country to become successful again, but they could not have succeeded without their friends, Bavarians included.
Both Bavaria and Hungary are striving for a strong and competitive Europe, which “does not seek to get rid of Europe’s Christian roots” but seeks to return to those values, Szijjártó said.
