Szijjarto: Russia not seen as security threat in Hungary

Hungary does not consider Russia a direct security threat to its territory but understands and respects that other NATO member states think differently, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in Brussels on Tuesday after a two-day session of NATO foreign ministers. As a committed NATO member, Hungary has always been loyal to its allies, Szijjarto told Hungarian journalists. Hungary has contributed to NATO's reinforcement actions on its eastern wing and will continue to help to boost the Baltic states' "security and sense of security", he said.
