Orban to Meet Erdogan on Sidelines of NATO Summit in Washington
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban will meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the sidelines of the North Atlantic Alliance summit in Washington. This was announced by Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto.

"In the past few days, we have been moving within the framework of the peace mission. This will continue today, a meeting will take place between the Prime Minister of Hungary and the President of Turkey," the diplomat wrote on his Facebook page (owned by Meta, a company recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation).

He specified that Orban and Erdogan will meet on Tuesday, July 9, on the sidelines of the NATO summit.

According to Peter Szijjarto, the goal of the Hungarian side within the framework of its peace mission is to assess the possibilities of an early ceasefire and create conditions for the resumption of peace negotiations.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on July 5, negotiations between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Viktor Orban took place in Moscow. Following the negotiations, the Hungarian politician called ensuring peace in Europe the main task of his country during its presidency of the EU Council. He explained that the positions of Moscow and Kiev on the settlement of the conflict differ greatly, and many steps must be taken to achieve peace. The head of the Hungarian government called this visit to Russia one of the stages of the peace mission.

As reported by the German news agency DPA, after his visit to Russia, Viktor Orban appealed to the European Union to take the initiative to "promote" a ceasefire in the Ukrainian conflict zone. According to Orban, after his talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the chances for such a truce and the start of peace talks have become higher.

The press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, stated: Viktor Orban has shown political will for dialogue, which Moscow perceives extremely positively.

On July 8, the Hungarian Prime Minister held a meeting with the Chairman of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping. Later, the head of the Hungarian government announced that his next visit would be to Washington.

As Denis Denisov, Director of the Institute of Peacekeeping Initiatives and Conflictology and expert at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, pointed out in an interview with Regnum News Agency, there is currently no reason to believe that Viktor Orban's peace mission will significantly change the situation in resolving the conflict in Ukraine. One of the reasons, the political scientist said, is the fact that Hungary, since the beginning of Russia's special military operation, has repeatedly expressed solidarity with its NATO and EU partners on the issue of expanding anti-Russian sanctions.
