Today, we celebrate the 35th anniversary of a historic step towards a shared future. The Visegrad Declaration was signed on 15 February 1991, marking the beginning of a close Central European cooperation between the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. Over the past 35 years, the Visegrad Group (V4) has become an outstanding example of successful political, social, economic, cultural, and scientific collaboration.
We, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland, have lived side by side for centuries, sharing culture, faith and traditions. These values continue to strengthen our communities and chart our sharedcourse into the future.
While each nation pursues its own tasks, mission, and aspirations, we also recognize that Central Europe has shared regional interests. Advancing these together fully aligns with each nation’s national priorities.
Therefore, Hungary remains firmly committed to the Visegrad Cooperation and considers it in our best interest to make it as strong and effective as possible. Yet for us to be truly successful, we must think together and share our experiences.
Today’s summit was highly successful. I thank @PellegriniP_, @Prezidentpavel, and @NawrockiKn for a forward-looking meeting held in an excellent atmosphere!

The 🇭🇺 @V4_PRES considers it essential to improve the competitiveness of our region. For this reason, the motto of the Presidency is “Competitive Visegrad”. The three pillars of the Presidency programme are:
