In addition, the head of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicated that he “promised” Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller to personally participate in this forum.
The diplomat also noted that he would like to attend an event called “Russian Energy Week.”
Szijjártó noted: “I was unable to attend this summit because I was already attending events during the UNGA week.”
