Budapest, Hungary – Hungary’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Péter Szijjártó, has underlined that the key question for Hungary is “when will peace return to Central Europe,” as he discussed critical international issues spanning from regional security to global humanitarian crises.
In recent remarks, Szijjártó noted that he regularly communicates with Juriy Usakov—who, as part of the Russian delegation in Saudi Arabia, also connects with American counterparts. “What I’ve heard from her is more than reassuring,” he said, highlighting the positive atmosphere at the negotiating table where both Russia and the United States engage with genuine good intentions. This, he believes, bodes well for achieving a lasting, sustainable ceasefire and lasting peace.
A significant aspect of these negotiations is the American-Russian agreement on the prohibition of attacks on energy infrastructure. Szijjártó emphasized that this deal specifically safeguards Hungary by prohibiting any actions that could jeopardize its energy security. In parallel, he stressed the importance of continuously expanding Hungarian-Russian economic cooperation. Hungarian companies have already seen success in the Russian market, and new investments are on the horizon in agriculture, food, and the pharmaceutical industry. “Today I agreed with my friend Denis Manturov that the Russian government will assist and support these investments,” he added.
Addressing global security, the minister also expressed concern over the internal conflict in Sudan, describing it as one of the most tragic crises in the world today. He outlined the severe humanitarian impact—150,000 deaths, 15 million refugees, and widespread starvation among half of the country’s 48 million population—as a result of ongoing strife and the absence of a civilian government. In discussions with Reem al-Hashimi, the UAE’s Minister for International Cooperation, Szijjártó highlighted the potential threat posed by Sudan becoming a breeding ground for extremist political movements and terrorism, which could trigger another wave of mass migration.
Both officials stressed the need for the international community to prioritize resolving the crisis in Sudan and to work toward establishing a stable, civilian-led government. Szijjártó also expressed his appreciation for the UAE’s responsible and stabilizing regional policies.
As Hungary navigates its bilateral relations and supports global peace initiatives, these discussions underscore the nation’s dual commitment to securing its own energy and economic interests, while also addressing broader international security challenges.
