Russia’s brutal overnight attack on Kyiv is another horrifying reminder of the human cost of this war. Civilians should never wake up to missiles, drones, explosions, and fear for their lives. Homes destroyed, families shattered, innocent people killed and injured - this is unacceptable. We strongly condemn the attack and stand by the victims and the people of Ukraine.

Hungarian–Polish relations are entering a new phase. In the coming days, we will arrive in Poland with a high-level delegation, with the shared goal of placing our cooperation on new foundations. A new era requires a new approach. Therefore, I have decided to recall Hungary’s Ambassador to Warsaw, as I believe that the renewed direction of our foreign policy should be represented by a new envoy who can credibly and consistently advance it in the period ahead.

Today we honor Lithuanian freedom fighters who fought for Lithuania’s independence. Their sacrifice and courage remind us of how precious freedom is.

Yesterday was an exciting first day at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We held our first staff assembly — the first in 12 years — and I had the opportunity to meet the staff of the Ministry, whom I count on to help build a functioning and more humane Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The promised removal of the “Foreign Economics” sign was also completed. In the afternoon, we hosted a reception for ambassadors accredited to Hungary. It was an important opportunity to reaffirm Hungary’s commitment to dialogue, cooperation, and respectful international partnerships.

As of this morning, I am honored to serve as Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Hungary. My mission is clear: to represent the interests of the Hungarian people with determination, dignity, and clarity on every international stage. I look forward to working closely with our partners while strengthening Hungary’s voice across Europe and beyond.

A new chapter begins in Hungary today. The inaugural session of the new Parliament is underway. Representatives have taken their oath, followed by an address from President Tamás Sulyok. Soon, Parliament will elect a new Speaker, and later today, Péter Magyar is expected to be elected Prime Minister by open vote. Outside, on Kossuth Square, thousands are gathering, following every moment together. It is no coincidence that this day falls on Europe Day. The message is clear: Hungary’s place is in Europe. Naturally, firmly, and without question. And with that comes responsibility. The real work begins today.
