Orban urges unity between eastern, western EU member states

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called for unity and cooperation between the eastern and western member states of the European Union ahead of a working lunch with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Friday. At a joint press conference with Macron in the garden of the Elysee Palace, Orban said Hungary and France were both interested in a successful and economically strong Europe. The prime minister noted that France and the central European member states held similar positions on security, border protection and the need for a joint European military. Orban said he will also explain to Macron why Hungary and France hold such differing views on the issue of migration.
