Hungary has imported 275 million cubic metres of gas from Turkey this year and the two countries have now agreed to continue the partnership, announced Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
The Minister said the construction of the TurkStream natural gas pipeline has been “the most important step” taken in the last several years when it comes to Hungary’s energy security.
“It would simply be physically impossible to supply the country with enough natural gas without TurkStream,” he said.
He pointed out that thanks to TurkStream Hungary is able to import 20 million cubic metres of gas a day and had by now received more gas through this pipeline alone than it had in total in 2023. One reason for this is that Hungary was the first non-neighbouring country to import gas from Turkey.
