- The countries of the Vyšehrad Four will present a joint position at the NATO summit in Ankara.
- V4 defense ministers discussed infrastructure development and military cooperation in Budapest.
According to Kaliňák, in Budapest, in addition to the development of infrastructure, they also discussed military cooperation and strengthening the defense industry, but also how they can cooperate in the field of defense against drones.
Strengthening cooperation V4
At the press conference after the meeting, the ministers agreed that the V4 is an important grouping for their countries and for Europe and that they will further deepen political cooperation in the future.
According to Hungarian Defense Minister Romulus Ruszin-Szendi, the current meeting is a huge step because it proved that V4 defense cooperation is alive again. He added that the current summit was organized in a very short time, as the government of Prime Minister Péter Magyar was established only over a month ago.
The heads of the defense departments of the Czech Republic and Poland, Jaromír Zúna and Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, also took part in the meeting.
