Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Saturday said the country, along with its partners, has committed to a “globally unique project” and would build the world’s longest submarine power cable, at the signing ceremony of an Agreement on Strategic Partnership in the field of Green Energy Development and Transmission between the Governments of Georgia, Azerbaijan, Romania and Hungary.

The Prime Minister thanked his Azerbaijani, Georgian and Romanian friends, as well as the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen for the “opportunity” to sign the Agreement.

Orbán stressed Europe was in a “strategic vacuum” in which the leaders of states were “required to make every effort” to create economic and energy security for their countries, adding that the solution lay in finding new energy sources and bringing them to Europe.
