"Stability in Turkey is good news for the whole of Europe, as our continent faces countless serious challenges that can only be overcome through predictable and effective cooperation with Turkey," Orban wrote in his congratulatory letter. Orban reassured Erdogan that his government would continue to work to further advance bilateral economic, trade, education and cultural ties. He expressed hope that the two countries could soon arrange the Turkish president's previously postponed visit to Hungary.
