Hungarian troops stationed in the Sahel region are “serving important Hungarian interests”, assisting with problems where those problems are generated, Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi, commander of the Hungarian military, told a roundtable in Budapest on Monday.

Ruszin-Szendi and Gáspár Maróth, government commissioner for defense developments, have recently visited Hungarian soldiers in the Sahel.
