By

The Hungarian armed forces’ peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan has been a success story, Hungarian Minister of Defence Imre Szekeres said at a reception ceremony held in Nyiregyhaza (NE) on Wednesday.

The minister welcomed the 6th of the rotating units of the provincial reconstruction team (PRT) that had served in northern Afghanistan’s Baghlan province.

Szekeres said that Hungarian soldiers helped improve public safety in Afghanistan, training local members of the army and police and providing protection for international forces, experts and advisors.

The Hungarians were also there to help secure the first round of elections in Afghanistan, he added.
