Security becomes top issue in Europe, says Orban in China

Suzhou, China, November 24 (MTI) – Europe has been attacked and faces further terrorist threats, which makes security a top priority for the community, Prime Minister Viktor Orban told participants in the China-CEE summit in China’s Suzhou on Tuesday.

The recent attacks in Paris were directed against all European Union countries, Orban said. He warned that “we must draw serious conclusions and face severe consequences.” The prime minister said that though Europe may be rich, it is weak, which he called a dangerous combination, and called for firm action to ensure security for the community.

Orban insisted that China has a key role in securing peace in the world and in maintaining a global balance. He asked China’s leaders “to support the European efforts aimed at restoring our security, and assist the European anti-terrorist efforts on all global political forums”.
