Foreign minister opens consulate in Slovenia

The Slovenian and Hungarian governments introduced tough measures to defeat the third wave of the coronavirus pandemic and return their respective countries to a normal course of life, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said at the opening of a Hungarian consulate in Koper on Thursday.

“As a result, the current task in Hungary is to be able to relaunch the Hungarian economy as soon as possible,” he told the ceremonial event.

At the same time, Hungary is not an island and cannot act independently from its surroundings, it cannot isolate itself from neighbours, he added.

The success of economic cooperation with neighbouring countries is therefore vitally important for Hungary’s foreign economic performance and the relaunch of the economy, Szijjártó said.
