Szijjarto: V4-Japan cooperation could contribute to post-pandemic boom

Cooperation between the Visegrad Group and Japan could contribute to an economic boom in central Europe after the coronavirus pandemic, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in Warsaw on Friday, during talks with his V4 and Japanese counterparts. The four Visegrad countries have a "vested interest" in Japan's broad involvement in the economic cooperation and infrastructure developments of the region, Szijjarto said in his address at the meeting. V4 participants in the meeting suggested that the Japanese side consider "an even deeper involvement" in central European infrastructure projects, especially in a planned high speed railway service connecting Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland, Szijjarto said.
