When the war is over and the peace negotiations begin, it is not necessary for the borders to remain where the current front lines are, said Péter Szijjártó in an interview with the American news agency Associated Press. The minister also spoke about Finnish and Swedish NATO accession, the war in Ukraine and Hungarian-American relations.
Due to the West's continuous criticism of democracy, our country is reluctant to provide support in practical issues such as NATO expansion, said Péter Szijjártó in an interview with the American news agency Associated Press (AP ) .
It is unacceptable when Swedish and Finnish politicians question the democratic nature of our political system - underlined the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The Parliament will vote on Finland's NATO accession on Monday, according to Máté Kocsis, leader of the Fidesz faction, the party's representatives support the proposal. In response to AP's question, Péter Szijjártó said that this is no longer so clear in the case of Sweden.
Regarding the war in Ukraine, the minister said:
the fact that Hungary urges peace does not mean accepting that Russia would keep the territories it currently controls.
When the war ends and peace negotiations begin, it is not necessary for the borders to remain where the current front lines are. We know this from our own history. However, the ceasefire must come now - stressed Szijjártó.
Speaking about Hungarian-American relations, the minister pointed out that under the presidency of Donald Trump, the two countries had excellent relations, but with the current administration, it is more difficult to find a common denominator.
He never wanted to force anything on us. He never wanted to pressure us to change the way we think about family. He never wanted us to change the way we think about migration. He never wanted us to change our way of thinking about social issues - Péter Szijjártó summarized the nature of relations during the Trump administration. He added:
Trump's relationship with Russia would also be favorable in the current situation, stressing that Moscow did not launch an attack against anyone during the former president's tenure.
