Hungary Awards Russian Trade Minister With Highest Order of Merit for Sputnik V Deliveries
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Peter Szijjarto, on Wednesday honored Russian Trade Minister Denis Manturov with the highest national order of merit for foreigners in recognition of his role in Hungary's COVID-19 vaccination campaign.
The Russian-made Sputnik V vaccine delivered to the European country "
saved the lives of a million citizens," the Hungarian minister said during the award ceremony at the Innoprom 2021 trade fair in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg.
"In January, after long and serious negotiations, the contract was signed. ... We received 2 million doses of Sputnik V on time. Almost a million Hungarian citizens have been vaccinated with it. If we had not signed this contract and if it was not your personal control over the supply, we would not have conducted the fastest vaccination campaign in the European Union. Without your personal participation, we would not have reached the figure 75% of the vaccinated among the adult population," Szijjarto said, thanking Manturov.
The Russian minister, on his part, stressed the importance of Hungary's assistance in the supply of components for ventilators to Russia, and expressed the hope for further active economic cooperation between the countries.
"I am very grateful for such an assessment of our joint work in all areas," Manturov noted.
Hungary is the first EU country to register Sputnik V. In May, the Russian embassy in Budapest announced that Hungary had received all the contracted doses from Russia. Budapest is also said to be discussing domestic manufacturing of the vaccine with Moscow.
