For the first time since assuming office, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán participated at the high level week of the General Assembly. The primary purpose of his visit is to voice a proposal of global burden-sharing at the migration summit, to which he was invited by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Today Mr. Orbán participated at the UN Leaders' Summit on Countering ISIL and Violent Extremism; chaired by United States President Barack Obama, highlighting the international community’s efforts to counter ISIL, address Foreign Terrorist Fighters, and Counter Violent Extremism.
The migration crisis was the main topic of the bilateral meeting of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, President of Egypt. The parties concluded that the current migration crisis is a global problem, and therefore the response to the crisis must also be global.
In this context, Mr Orbán pointed out that the problem is not with Islam but with illegal mass migration.
