Statement from Ambassador David B. Cornstein on the signing of the Defense Cooperation Agreement between the United States and Hungary
April 4, 2019
Washington D.C.
“I commend Foreign Minister Szijjártó and the Hungarian government for signing the Defense Cooperation Agreement today on the margins of the Meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers in Washington, DC. This agreement will modernize our previous status of forces agreement to reflect new realities in defense, and represents another positive step forward in the journey that the Hungarian people began 30 years ago when they chose to end Communism and embrace liberty. We look forward to an even stronger security relationship with Hungary, and we hope the Hungarian Parliament will complete its approval of the agreement as soon as possible.”
