Hungary, Bavaria parlt delegations discuss migration, bilateral links

Prime Minister Viktor Orban attended the first part of a meeting between a delegation of Bavarian parliament's European affairs committee and Hungarian parliament's foreign affairs committee on Monday which focused on migration, the future of the European Union and bilateral ties. Zsolt Nemeth, the head of the Hungarian committee, told the press during a break in the meeting that Bavaria and Hungary approach the issue of migration in similar ways. "Being able to protect Europe from migration is necessary for the continent's long-term future and the protection of external borders is the most important common task," he said. "This Hungarian approach has gained increasingly significant European and German recognition in recent years," he added.
