Szijjarto: Austria among Hungary's most important allies

Austria is one of Hungary's most important and closest allies, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said after talks with Karoline Edtstadler, Austria's minister for EU and constitutional affairs, in Budapest on Friday. Hungary holds the current Austrian government in high esteem and though the two countries have their disagreements, bilateral cooperation "will not be held hostage by those issues", Szijjarto told a press conference he held jointly with Edtstadler.
