Szijjarto: Hungary ready to maintain participation in efforts to prevent global food crisis

Hungary is ready to maintain its participation in international efforts to prevent a global food crisis expected as a result of the war in Ukraine, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in New York late on Thursday local time. The ministry said in a statement that addressing the UN Security Council open debate in connection with “Conflict and food security”, Szijjarto said that the war posed direct and indirect security risks for Hungary, being a neighbouring country to Ukraine, partly as a result of the proximity of the fighting and partly due to potential further waves of migrants resulting from the crisis.
