Video: Hungary Slams EU's Migration Policy At UN

• 29 Sep 2018 7:22 AM

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto criticized the European Union's stance on migration in his address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York last Friday.

"Unfortunately I have to tell you that [the] European Union has failed while looking for an answer to this challenge," Szijjarto said.

"[the] European Union gave a very bad answer because instead of concentrating on how to stop the migratory flows, [the] European Union concentrated on how to encourage and how to manage the flows. And this is basically a policy of invitation."

Representatives of all 193 UN members' states gathered for the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly meeting, which took place between September 25 and October 1 in 2018.
