H.E. Ambassador Katalin Bogyay, Permanent Representative of Hungary to the United Nations gave a keynote speech on “Regional representation and size of the future Council” at a two day meeting in Rome on 21-22 May 2015, organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Italy for permanent representatives to exchange views on the reform of the Security Council.
Ambassador Bogyay emphasized the power of dialogue and the openness to creative ideas. Hungary is a committed and active supporter of the Security Council reform. The ongoing process gives the opportunity for the first time in many years to break out of self-repeating cycles of negotiations, to exchange opinions, narrow down differences and identify areas of consensus as she stated. Addressing the issue of regional representation Ambassador Bogyay highlighted three interrelated questions: the categories of enlargement, the size of the future Council and the representation of regions.
