Orbán argued the “first and one of the most important” elements of the country’s grand strategy was an assessment of the world around the nation: was it supportive, as in the time of Saint Stephen, or did it present a bumpy road down which Hungarians were forced to advance, as at present.
He also claimed that a general opposition in Europe to Christian culture and tradition was a challenge Hungary had to face in order to achieve its goals.
Orbán said the second element of Hungary’s strategy was technological modernization and the third was protecting its national sovereignty on the economic, foreign policy, financial, and energy supply fronts.
Connectivity is the fourth element, he said, adding that establishing ties with other countries, rather than adopting a perspective defined by blocs, could make Hungary a more developed country.
