He said it was a "big success" for Hungary that NATO's position on the war in Ukraine, a stand that "fully concurs with Hungary's national interests," remained in force.
"NATO is not a combatant in the war in [Ukraine] and does not want to become a combatant, and everything must be done to prevent the war from escalating and spreading beyond the borders of Ukraine," he added.
"Our most important goal […], the government's most important commitment, is to ensure that Hungary stays out of the war," he said.
