Singapore, Hungary ties underpinned by mutual respect, says foreign minister Szijjarto

SINGAPORE – Continued diplomatic ties between Singapore and Hungary for 50 years now have been underpinned by “mutual respect”, according to Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, who noted there has been a practical side to the cooperation as well in an interview with The Straits Times Wednesday (Oct 14).

“We represent a similar kind of approach when it comes to patriotism, when it comes to the approach to the nation itself,” said Mr Szijjarto, who was on a one-day stop in Singapore as part of a whirlwind visit to South-East Asian countries, including the Philippines and Vietnam.
