Hungary will complete building the pipeline through which Azerbaijani gas will arrive in the country, Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Péter Szijjártó revealed.

Szijjártó called gas supply a national security issue for Hungary and confirmed his government's commitment to diversification in terms of sources and supply lines.

The minister noted that the Serbian section between the Hungarian and Bulgarian borders is already in place. He called for the section between Bulgaria and Greece to be completed as soon as possible.

The minister has instructed Hungary's electricity and gas works to start talks with SOCAR on the contractual arrangements by which Hungary can buy Azerbaijani gas.

The minister noted that Hungarian oil and gas company MOL is the biggest central European investor in Azerbaijan and holds the third biggest portfolio in Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli.

TAP is transporting natural gas from the Shah Deniz gas field to Europe. The 878 km long pipeline connects the Turkish-Greek border with the Trans-Anatolian Pipeline and runs through Greece, Albania, and the Adriatic Sea to southern Italy.
