“Since the terrorist attacks in Paris, it is not just the threat of terrorism that we need to talk about but real attacks, and Hungary is taking the war on terror seriously.”

Orbán said controls against the wave of migrants from the south should be stepped up. Stoltenberg said the recent terrorist attacks in Paris were directed not only against innocent people but against open, democratic societies and fundamental values that must be protected.

He called Hungary a valuable member of NATO, noting the country’s contributions to ensuring joint security.

He voiced NATO’s gratitude for its participation in the protection of the Baltic and Slovenian air space and in missions in Afghanistan and Kosovo.

Stoltenberg welcomed the Hungarian government’s decision to increase its defence spending, which he said was important both for the country and NATO as a whole.
