As Minister of Defence I support DefSec CEE Infosystem, the first Central Eastern European online infosystem providing defence/security/energy/transport news of the CEE/Central Asia region. This is a project which promotes not only Hungary’s integration into the European defence industry structures, into the „European Defence Common Market”, but helps the whole of the Central Eastern Europe region, each country to develop her defence/security related industry, to join the European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB).
In our info-based age, as societies, cultures drive on the „Information Highway” to success, it is vital to get firsthand, timely, reliable, exact information. It provides jobs, creates the base for sustainable growth, establishes a common defence future in research and development in Europe. I am convinced DefSec CEE Infosystem is and will be an integral part of all these processes.
I wish success to DefSec CEE Infosystem.
