Hungarian President advocated for a strong Central Europe

A strong central Europe is not just a regional interest but in the interest of the whole of Europe, President Tamás Sulyok said in Warsaw on Tuesday, attending a business forum in connection with a Three Seas Initiative summit.

Sulyok expressed Hungary’s commitment to the initiative, which he called “crucial” for cooperation between the countries of the central European region. He said central Europe, including Hungary, was “a bridge” for cooperation between East and West.

In his address, Sulyok noted Hungary was one of the first countries to join Three Seas in 2024, and expressed the country’s commitment to “supporting growth-oriented businesses”. Hungary aims to build a “stable, market-based infrastructure to facilitate implementation of the best market practices,” he said.

The president said that in view of recent geopolitical challenges, energy security could not be upheld without international cooperation and regional developments, adding that Hungary ensured energy supplies through alternative routes, thereby contributing to the energy security of the whole region.
