The foreign minister said the government’s main goal was to protect Hungary from the war in Ukraine.

NATO is made up of national forces, and that is why every member state has to develop its own forces; being committed to its NATO membership, Hungary is doing so indeed – stated Defence Minister Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky after the Meeting of NATO Ministers of Defence in Brussels on 15 February.

Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said NATO member states should rethink their “failed” Ukraine strategy, but most of them show no willingness to do so despite the lack of success seen over the past year and a half.

Security is of key importance to Hungary and the Hungarian people, and the country’s membership in NATO guarantees its security as well as that of the wider region, stated President of Hungary Katalin Novák, Commander-in-Chief of the Hungarian Defence Forces at the NATO Headquarters in Brussels on 8 November.

Hungary takes her share of the collective tasks in accordance with its commitments, told the Ministry of Defence to Hungarian news agency MTI after the Meetings of NATO Ministers of Defence in Brussels.
