Hungary stands firmly with India on the recent decisions taken by the Modi administration. The Hungarian Foreign Minister, in an exclusive conversation with India Today TV, asked the international community to stop preaching to India on the issues of Kashmir, CAA or NRC. To a question on what his government’s views were on the recent legislation in India, Foreign Minister of Hungary Péter Szijjártó called the decisions internal to India and countries should stop lecturing India.

He said, We look at these decisions as purely internal and domestic issues of India and that is why we do not comment. We leave it to the Indians. We are not a country like some others who think that it would be their homework not to govern themselves but other countries as well. We don’t like that approach when countries try to educate and lecture others. My position is that if a govt makes good decisions then the people will reelect them and if a govt makes bad decisions then the people will not re-elect them. We should leave it to the Indians to 1 decide, he added.

When asked if Hungary would want to send its envoy as part of the EU group on a future trip to the Valley, his prompt answer was in the negative. We did not put any request to travel to Kashmir. My ambassador is here to manage the bilateral relationship and enhance that. A visit to that given region is not part of our bilateral relations in any way, said Szijjá. Hungary also is looking at sharing technology in the sphere of water management.
