His Excellency Péter Szijjártó, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade addressing the Ministerial Meeting of the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS held in Washington, D.C., on February 6, 2019. He  emphasised the importance of the ‘Hungary Helps’ programme in the stabilisation efforts through taking assistance to where its most needed, creating stable conditions for the safe return of displaced persons, so the push factors fuelling illegal mass migration can be eliminated by providing sanitation, medication, education, food and shelter for communities in Iraq and Syria and elsewhere. He underlined Hungary’s special focus on the protection of and assistance to Christian minorities who were prime victims of atrocities committed by Daesh. Minister Szijjártó reaffirmed that the Hungarian military contingent in Iraq will continue its efforts with up to 200 troops on the ground and also intends to contribute troops to the recently launched NATO Mission Iraq aiming to promote defense capacity building.
