Hungary reaffirms Belarus partnership, advocates peace in Ukraine at Minsk meeting [Video]

Further developing Hungary-Beralus economic and energy cooperation in areas not affected by sanctions is an important common goal, the foreign minister said in Minsk on Thursday.

The ministry cited Péter Szijjártó telling a joint press conference with Belarus counterpart Maxim Ryzhenkov that the global security situation was currently in its worst shape since the Second World War, so stabilisation would be important.

“The recent period has proved that wars cannot be resolved on the battleground … this only leads to more deaths and greater destruction,” he added.

“The solution instead must be sought at the negotiation table. This is why we Hungarians call for ceasefire and peace in Ukraine, and the road to peace lies through peace talks,” he said.

He added that Hungary had been living in the shadow of war for a thousand days, directly feeling the negative impacts of the war day by day, despite the fact that Hungary had no responsibility at all for the outbreak of the war.
