Hungary backs US Middle East peace plan, says FM Szijjártó in Washington
Change language:
Hungary continues to support the United States in its efforts to bring about peace in the Middle East, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said in Washington on Tuesday, adding that the region’s stability was strongly linked to Europe’s security.
If there is peace and stability in the Middle East then there is a good chance that Europe can avoid having to deal with new migration waves from the region, the minister said.
The Hungarian government expects international political organisations, including the European Union, to support the United States’ plan to secure peace in the Middle East, Szijjártó told MTI ahead of talks with US national security advisor Robert O’Brien and White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
Szijjártó will also be the only EU foreign minister attending the signing of Israel’s agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain on normalising diplomatic ties, a document he called “historic”.
