Magyar Calls for Stronger Europe to Safeguard World Peace

In Berlin, Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar has called for stronger European competitiveness, energy security and closer cooperation, saying a stronger Europe could help prevent another world war.

Speaking on Europe's future and Hungary's role in the European Union during a two-day visit to Germany, six months after taking office, Magyar also stressed the need to reduce Europe's dependence on external supplies of energy, critical raw materials, components and technologies. He further called for the admission of Western Balkan countries into the European Union, urging equal standards for all accession candidates.
