Orban: Govt to raise wages, reduce unemployment

The government's aim is for the Hungarian economy's level of development to reach 85 percent of the average development level of the European Union by 2030, Prime Minister Viktor Orban told an international press conference on Thursday. Commenting on the conflict between Iran and the United States, Orban said the Hungarian troops serving in Iraq were "as safe as soldiers can be". Some of the military bases with Hungarian soldiers have suffered missile attacks, the prime minister said, adding, however that none of them have been injured. He said a high-ranking Hungarian officer has arrived in Iraq and was now in command of the Hungarian mission.
