Hungary’s Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said that the upcoming visit of Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel is a sign of Germany’s appreciation towards the importance of the bilateral cooperation of the two countries, Hungarian news service MTI reported.
Szijjártó said that Germany is Hungary’s most important European ally, adding that the industries of the two countries have “practically grown together”. Szijjártó added that the cooperation between Germany and Central Europe is “crucial for the competitiveness” of Europe as a whole.
