Hungary, Poland linked with ‘unconditional’ friendship, says Hungarian foreign minister

Hungary and Poland are not only strategic partners but they are also linked with a “true friendship”; the two countries can rely on one another unconditionally, the Hungarian foreign minister told Polish news channel wpolsce.pl in an interview today.

The two countries have mutually pledged support concerning the European Union’s Article 7 procedures, Péter Szijjártó said.

“As we expect further attacks to be directed at Hungary by the EU, it is vitally important for us to know that we can count on one another under all circumstances”, Szijjártó said in terms of bilateral relations.

The Article 7 procedures have been launched against the two countries primarily in response to the migration policy of the Visegrad group countries that include Hungary and Poland, Szijjártó said.

Another reason is the “successful economic policy of Hungary and Poland that goes against the mainstream economic policies”, Szijjártó said.

Hungary and Poland are governed by strong leaders and are politically and economically stable countries, Szijjártó said, adding that “this is something not favoured that much in Brussels”.
