Orban: Focus in global economy to shift eastwards

An eastward shift of focus in the global economy is expected to become stronger in the coming decades, the Hungarian prime minister said at a Vietnamese-Hungarian business forum in Hanoi. Western countries will have to "adapt to this new state of affairs", which will be no easy task, Viktor Orban said. Central Europe "has done better in adapting", he said, arguing that the countries in the region had established more extensive relations with countries in the East than several of the more influential European states.
