Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó conveyed Hungary’s sympathies over the victims of the deadly forest fires raging in Chile to his Chilean counterpart on Monday.
In a message to Chilean Foreign Minister Alberto van Klaveren Stork, Szijjártó said it was with “great dismay” that he had learned of the devastating fires in central Chile’s Valparaiso region.
“Let me express the solidarity of Hungary in this difficult situation to You, and above all, to the victims and their families, as well as to the citizens of Chile,” he said.
He hailed the firefighters “who have fought heroically against the flames” and the military’s efforts to protect civilians.
“My thoughts and prayers are with those who have suffered losses, and I wish them all the strength to process this tragedy,” Szijjártó said.
More than 100 people have died in the fires that broke out in the Valparaiso region on Friday.
