Szijjarto voices support for ‘democratically elected Niger president’
The Hungarian government firmly supports "Niger's democratically elected president and supports his return to his office", Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said after talks with Hadja Lahbib, his Belgian counterpart, on Sunday.
Szijjarto said on Facebook that Europe’s security was in close connection with security in Africa, and in the Sahel region, especially because the latter could “easily become a source of migration waves”. He added that the recent coup against President Mohamed Bazoum could undermine stability in the whole region.
The two foreign ministers agreed on the need for joint action to ensure stability in the Sahel and to fight terrorism, Szijjarto said.
