BUDAPEST, August 31. /TASS/. The new Hungarian government supports strengthening NATO’s eastern flank and creating a "security corridor" there to deter current and future threats, Foreign Minister Anita Orban said, according to MTI agency.
The minister called the development of ties along the "north-south" axis in Central Europe a "strategically important task," noting the need to integrate energy, transport, and digital networks, as well as to diversify oil and gas supplies. In her view, it is necessary to continue improving the "rail and road links between the Baltic and Adriatic Seas to make it possible to create a security corridor that will increase the region’s resilience and help strengthen NATO’s eastern flank in the face of both current and future threats," Orban said at the Strategic Forum , attended by the leaders and government members of the countries in Central and Southeastern Europe.
She said that Hungary will not become a "weak link" in NATO, as it is "firmly committed to the principles of unity and solidarity within the alliance." She emphasized that the country will fulfill its obligations to its allies, including defense spending and strengthening military capabilities.
