Gulyas: Hungary has good ties with all leading world powers

Addressing a regular press briefing on Thursday, Gergely Gulyas, the head of the Prime Minister's Office, hailed this week's meeting between Prime Minister Viktor Orban and US President Donald Trump as "an outstanding diplomatic achievement", adding that Hungary had "balanced, good ties" with all leading world powers. Gulyas said relations were "especially good" with all global powers with which "economic and political cooperation is of great significance". He said parliament was expected to approve a new bilateral defence cooperation agreement between Hungary and the US in the session following the European Parliament elections. In response to a question, Gulyas said Orban had not invited Trump to Budapest, adding, at the same time, that the two leaders would meet if it became necessary.
