The Trans Austrian Gas Pipeline could contribute to strengthening the security of Hungary's energy supply, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó told public media after a meeting with the head of Austrian gas pipeline operator Trans Austria Gasleitung in Vienna this week.

According to origo.hu, Szijjártó said the pipeline could be a "good security reserve," giving Hungary access to LNG arriving at ports in Italy. 

He added that Hungary is opposed to giving up its sovereign energy policy. He acknowledged the need to diversify energy supply but said that didn't mean giving up existing, reliable energy sources. 

He noted that Hungary got a large share of its gas via the TurkStream pipeline.
