These statements came after his meeting with the Kazakh Foreign Minister, Murat Nurtleu.

Szijjartó He emphasized that Hungary and Kazakhstan have been harmed by the war in Ukraine and stressed the mutual interest in ending the conflict as soon as possible through a peace agreement. He also praised the efforts of the US president, Donald Trump, in favour of a peaceful solution, suggesting that its policy could facilitate the achievement of peace.

The Hungarian minister also noted that, due to its stance in favor of dialogue and diplomatic negotiations, Hungary was labeled a "Russian propagandist" during the previous administration in Europe and the US.

The Paris summit, convened by the French president Emmanuel Macron, which is attended by leaders of major European countries and senior officials of the European Union. The aim is to coordinate the European response to the direct negotiations between the US and Russia on the future of Ukraine, from which Europe has been excluded. This situation has generated tensions within the European bloc, as some countries consider their participation to be essential in any agreement that affects the security and stability of the continent.
