On 30 September 2015, H.E. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán held an intervention at the high-level meeting at UN Headquarters on migration and refugee movements, convened by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
In his speech, Prime Minister Orbán urged the Secretary-General to initiate negotiations on sharing this burden on a global level. Hungary is of the view that all major stakeholders of international politics will have to take some of the migrants to their countries as part of the global quota system.
He emphasized that Hungary has compassion for the people who are victims of the poor governance of their countries, which took away their human dignity, and of failed international political decisions, which left to war torn regions. He called it a moral responsibility to give back these people their homes and their country.
