Hungary can help restart dialogue among world powers, says Minister Szijjártó in Berlin
Hungary news – Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said in Berlin on Tuesday that Hungary and its “honest politics” can help reopen communication among world powers and build an era of connectivity, preventing the re-emergence of geopolitical blocs.
Hungarians “lost forty years of our lives” after the country found itself “on the wrong side” of the previous world order, Szijjártó said in a panel discussion at the Berlin Global Dialogue forum, according to a ministry statement, adding that Hungary was “extremely concerned” by recent global developments.
He said Hungary’s main goal now is to contribute to international efforts to prevent the re-emergence of blocs.
He said the Hungarian government’s interests lay in connectivity, and expressed regret that certain world powers today were not even willing to talk to each other.
smaller countries could help the major powers build bridges among themselves.
He warned of the risks posed by the absence of talks between the United States and Russia, as well as of a potential US-China trade war.

The minister underlined the importance of honesty, saying his European Union counterparts often assured him of their support but “cannot afford” to express it publicly because of the domestic political situation in their countries.
“I think that a major luxury we have in Hungary is political stability, and based on that political stability, the luxury of honesty; that we do what we say and we say what we think,” he added.
“And if we continue like this, I … believe that we can be of assistance to the big countries in restarting communication with each other and building the era of connectivity,” Szijjártó said.
He underscored Hungary’s success in becoming a key meeting point for Eastern and Western businesses. He noted that Hungary is home to manufacturing bases of all three big premium German car makers, while five of the world’s ten biggest Eastern battery makers are present in the country.
Szijjártó said Hungary had successfully established a “Berlin-Beijing-Seoul trade and economic cooperation area centred in Hungary”.
He said this made it hard to understand why Germany’s foreign minister favoured “decoupling and de-risking” the EU economy from China when German businesses relied heavily on Eastern suppliers and often urged Hungary to secure such investments.
Szijjártó said Hungary has added 1 million jobs since 2010, has the lowest tax rates in Europe and has broken investment records each year since 2014.

Oh boy. It is depressing to hear the comments of this guy. His mind is not connected with reality. Following his logic, Russia and North Korea has also political stability. If you ask to any citizen around the world, about how powerful is Hungary in a worldwide political arena, everybody will say, who?
Such an ego of Hungarian politicians, they should be more realistic when giving an opinion
