Orban: Chances good for cooperation with moderate Islamic parties

Christian democratic parties have a good chance of establishing cooperation with moderate Islamic parties on a common ground that they all insist on maintaining their identity, the Hungarian prime minister said in Yogyakarta on Thursday. Viktor Orban, who is leader of ruling Fidesz, attended an executive meeting of the Centrist Democrat International (CDI), a Christian democratic political formation. Orban is also one of the vice presidents of CDI. "When I was here for a visit a few years ago, I discovered a party that thinks along the same lines as Fidesz. It was very inspiring," Orban said after the meeting, making reference to the National Awakening Party (PKB), the host of the event.
