Siyjarto noted the importance of balance in the development of the economy and following the "green course"

“I represent a country that was the first among the EU member states to ratify the Paris Agreement.

We are one of those states (there are twenty-one of them) that have been able to increase their GDP while reducing emissions.

So protecting the environment is of course extremely important for us - after all, we need to save the planet for our descendants;

but we never had the desire to be irrational about participating in this discussion, ”Siyarto said.

According to the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Hungarian authorities have always advocated that economic development and improved industrial competitiveness and environmental protection go hand in hand.

“If you cannot maintain such a balance, if it comes to naught, then this 'good deed' itself can certainly come to naught here - this can discredit green policies, measures to protect the environment and, in fact, the green course itself ", - he added.

At the end of September, Gazprom and Hungary signed a contract for the supply of gas until the end of 2036.
