The Hungarian Government’s balanced foreign policy and the role Mol plays in Kurdistan constitute firms foundations for broader relations in the future. The parties also agreed that Central Europe will enjoy an enhanced position in the next few years and cooperation in the energy sector will become a key factor. Hungarian-Kurdish relations therefore offer major opportunities based on the foundation of mutual respect.
