The minister also praised Doha’s role in the release of some of the hostages taken by Hamas, including three Hungarian citizens. He noted that one more Hungarian citizen might be in the terrorist organization’s captivity, and therefore asked his Qatari counterpart to help him return home as soon as possible.
He expressed the hope that the negotiations on further hostage exchanges would be successful sooner rather than later, but preferably sooner, as he had recently heard in Israel from some of the hostages and their families who had returned home about the terrible conditions.
China has launched two multimodal transport routes to Central Asia. The first goes to Kazakhstan’s Almaty and a second one goes the capital city of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek. The majority of both services is being carried out via rail.
The European Union has also recognized Kazakhstan's importance, but better physical connectivity is essential to improving economic relations. Therefore, new direct flights would be launched, from which Hungary could also benefit.
