The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade's first trip after Easter was to Moscow; Péter Szijjártó conducts negotiations on the most important issues of cooperation necessary for the security of Hungarian energy supply.
Due to the extreme mildness of the winter left behind, Europe survived in terms of energy supply. However, the International Energy Agency's warning is clear: due to the radically increasing energy demand of the relaunching Chinese economy and the extremely slow pace of development of the European energy infrastructure, the real difficulty will be the coming winter - warned Péter Szijjártó on his social media page this morning.
In his position as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, he emphasized that the security of Hungary's energy supply requires uninterrupted gas deliveries, crude oil deliveries and nuclear fuel deliveries. In order to fulfill these three conditions, Hungarian-Russian energy cooperation must be undisturbed. "This is not a matter of political taste, but of physics," he asserted.The head of the ministry will spend the first day after the holiday in Moscow, where he will hold talks on the most important issues of cooperation necessary for the security of Hungarian energy supply with Alexander Novak, the deputy prime minister responsible for energy affairs, and then with Alexey Likhatsov, the CEO of Rosatom.
