The fact that dialogue in the interests of the fight against terrorism, which should be the most important point on the agenda of international politics, “seems to be faltering” in the Persian Gulf is disquieting, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó said in Budapest on Tuesday.
Replying to questions from reporters following a press conference to announce a new development project, Mr Szijjártó said: “Hungary would like the global coalition against terrorism to have the widest possible support, and for there to be continuous dialogue between the parties”.
“It is always disquieting when ‘relatively close’ neighbours are more concerned with conflict than they are with cooperation”, he added.
Since Monday morning seven countries, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, Libya, Yemen and the Maldives, have announced that they are severing diplomatic relations with Qatar, citing the fact that Doha is supporting terrorists and interfering in their internal affairs.
