Foreign Minister János Martonyi has sent a telegram to his Slovak counterpart Mikuláš Dzurinda, congratulating him on his appointment.

The head of Hungarian diplomacy emphasised that it is in Hungary’s interest to develop all aspects of cooperation between the two countries, including the resolution of those questions in which a common voice had not been found so far. Hungary is ready and open to pursue an intensive, sincere dialogue which focuses on the resolution of common issues, and on identifying new areas of cooperation.

Finally Mr Martonyi expressed the hope that he may soon discuss these questions in person with Slovakia’s new foreign minister.
