Szijjarto: Hungary contributes to NATO's success beyond its means

Hungary has contributed to the achievements of NATO beyond its powers and is determined to remain a dedicated ally, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Thursday, the closing day of a ministerial meeting in Washington, DC, marking NATO's 70th anniversary. At the meeting, Szijjarto and Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan are scheduled to sign a new Hungary-US defence agreement. Szijjarto said Hungary has every right to be proud of its contributions to NATO's operations over the past two decades. Mass illegal migration and the increased threat of terrorism are significant global security risks and Hungary, as a dedicated NATO ally, has been increasing its efforts to protect the country and contribute to Europe's security, he said.
