Hungary's government has reacted to changes in the world, such as the coronavirus pandemic, the economic crisis and the war in Ukraine, with "uncompromising" commitment to representing national interests and strengthening self-defence, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in Torino on Friday. The 21st century seems to turn out differently from what was expected, Szijjarto told the meeting of CoE foreign ministers. Hungary will continue to promote national interests in defending physical, economic and energy security, as well as in protecting Christianity, culture, families and the home, he said.
