Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Thursday said the Hungarian Government’s “firm attitude” in “protecting the national interests” of the country and its citizens were an “example for everyone”.
In his address at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Hungary's capital city of Budapest, Kobakhidze said the Hungarian authorities and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán were “standing firm in guarding Hungary's national and religious identity, as well as its traditional values”.
Despite the most difficult challenges, you did not allow the uncontrolled entry of migrants into Hungary, thus preserving the country's strong national identity”, he told the host official.
“You firmly stand on the guard of Christianity and Christian values in Hungary. You firmly oppose the so-called liberal propaganda, so as not to allow children and young people to be harmed and their moral values shaken. You firmly protect the state sovereignty of Hungary, which is a necessary precondition for the protection and promotion of the country's national interests”, Kobakhidze added.
The PM stressed Hungary, the country’s Government and Orbán in particular were “role models for everyone who values the words ‘homeland’ and ‘patriotism’”.
Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian Prime Minister, on Thursday told the opening session of the Conservative Political Action Conference, an annual event hosted this year in Budapest, Hungary, that his Georgian counterpart Irakli Kobakhidze had “managed to maintain Georgia’s national identity and culture despite challenges”.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Thursday said “recent and anticipated global developments” underscored the “imperative to further fortify our efforts in safeguarding our centuries-old traditions and national identity”.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Thursday told the opening session of the Conservative Political Action Conference, an annual event hosted this year in Budapest, Hungary, that “homeland, language and faith” were the “three main pillars” forming Georgia’s “national identity” since the country declared Christianity as the state religion in the fourth century CE.
