Hungary recognizes the importance of the question of post-pandemic recovery, as the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has had a devastating effect on our global community and economy. However, the pandemic has created not only new threats to global peace and security, but also unique opportunities to improve the prospects for future cooperation. In this regard, Hungary acknowledges the important ties between Europe and Africa, based on history, proximity and shared interests.”
