Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Ali Bagheri Kani, who is in Hungary heading a delegation to discuss issues of mutual interests, met with Chairman of the Hungarian National Assembly foreign affairs Zsolt Nemeth on Wednesday.
The deputy foreign minister described the war in Ukraine as not only the source of tension among European countries but also the root cause of threatening food and energy security in the world.
Bagheri Kani also noted that Budapest and Tehran oppose the conflict, because Hungary and Iran are located in the vicinity of Ukraine and Russia; so, it would be better to shift the current pace in Europe from clash and armed conflict to negotiating table.
The Iranian diplomat pointed to the trip by Iranian parliamentary delegation to Hungary, noting that the Islamic Republic gives importance to parliamentary relationship with the European country, emphasizing that the role of parliaments in expanding and strengthening bilateral ties is of great importance.
The Hungarian lawmaker, for his part, expressed hope that the two states will pursue the exchange of parliamentary delegations, noting that Iran’s role in regional stability and security is undeniable; so, Hungary attaches significance to consolidation of ties with the Islamic Republic.
