Europe continues to trade with Russia, but does it secretly, said Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations of the Republic Peter Szijjarto after the meeting of the 15th Russian-Hungarian intergovernmental commission on economic issues. The Hungarian TV channel 24.hu reported.
“Sanctions do not work, because a significant part of European companies find a way around to keep economic cooperation with Russia… I would like to point out – all of Europe trades with Russia, some deny it, and we have no necessity to do so,” he said.
According to the diplomat, Hungary openly continues to conduct economic relations with Moscow. Budapest’s goal and national interest is to improve the sphere of trade with Russia, the foreign minister emphasized.
Hungarian companies need not deny that they are looking for Russian economic partners, Szijjártó added. According to him, such statements are not a swear word in the republic.
