Szijjarto: Good Hungary-Romania relations serve interests of Hungarians, ethnic Hungarians

Good Hungary-Romania relations clearly serve the interests of Hungarians and ethnic Hungarians in Romania, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Friday after meeting counterpart Teodor Melescanu in Bucharest. "Both Hungary and Romania have done much towards achieving this purpose in recent times," the minister said. Progress has been made in such sensitive areas as the relaunch of a Catholic secondary school in Targu Mures (Marosvasarhely), the amendment of the education law and regulations on text books, Szijjarto told MTI. These achievements contribute to a strategy of rebuilding trust between the two countries that will help resolve difficult issues, he added.
