Szijjarto inaugurates Information Office crisis management centre

The new crisis management centre of the Information Office (IH), Hungary's civilian intelligence agency, shows the technological and organisational development under way in the sector, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said at the inauguration event in Budapest on Monday. Szijjarto said that a "new world order is emerging" which will set new tasks for the intelligence services. After "a financial crisis, natural disasters, migration waves and unprecedented terrorist threat" experienced in Europe in the past 12 years, the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 posed "the greatest challenge ever faced," he said.
