Szijjarto: Hungary, Finland 'champions of environmentally sound growth'

Hungary and Finland are among the few countries which expanded their economy while curbing greenhouse gas emissions, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in Helsinki on Wednesday, after talks with his Finnish counterpart Pekka Haavisto. Taking over the rotating presidency of the Council of Europe later in May, Hungary will prioritise adopting regulations to facilitate the European economy's growth while protecting the environment and nature, Szijjarto said.
