OREANDA-NEWS. The European Union’s greatest strength lies in unity which must not be broken, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó said on Thursday in Berlin after his talks with German political leaders.

In his interview given to the Hungarian public service media with regard to his talks with Peter Tauber, Secretary General of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), and Christoph Heusgen, the Chancellor’s chief foreign policy advisor, the Minister highlighted that Germany, too, is searching for answers to the extremely grave challenges that the EU is facing, and „here, too, foreign policy has become a part of domestic policy”.

He added that he told his partners: Hungary continues to build its European position on the strong cooperation of the Central-European region, the V4 Group (Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia), and holds that the unity of the EU must not be broken. All "forced discords must be put aside” – such as the alleged Eastern-European opposition – because they jeopardise the future of the EU.
