Orban: Hungary considers Putin honest partner and intends to develop relations with Russia
Hungary considers Russian leader Vladimir Putin to be an honest partner and is interested in developing relations with the Russian Federation – as stated by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, TASS reports
In an interview with the Magyar Nemzet newspaper, the Hungarian Prime Minister noted that any reasonably thinking country aims in its foreign policy at making friends. "May there be as many countries in the world as possible interested in the success of Hungarians. The new US President likes Hungary. The Chinese President visited two European Union countries: France and Hungary. The Turkish President is our friend, the Russian President is our honest partner, and the Israeli Prime Minister is our good friend. It is unlikely that there have been such precedents in the history of Hungarian diplomacy," Viktor Orban said.
The MP emphasised that it is not easy to maintain a balance of relations with many countries. "Rotating these plates at the same time so that none of them fall and their conflicts with each other do not damage their relations with us is a challenge, but it is not something impossible," he said. Viktor Orban added that Hungarians should gather friends around the globe to benefit.
