Foreign minister inaugurates new Information Office training centre

The training of staff at the Information Office (IH), Hungary's civilian intelligence agency focused on intelligence gathering operations primarily abroad, must always reflect and adapt to changing circumstances, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Thursday, addressing the inauguration of the IH's new training centre. The impact the novel coronavirus pandemic will have on the world is not yet clear, but what is certain is that "nothing will be the way it was before," Szijjarto said in an audio message. A new political world order will emerge along with a new global economic competition, he said, adding that this would also boost the significance of civilian intelligence gathering.
