Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban arrived in Buenos Aires for bilateral talks with Argentina's newly elected President Javier Milei Saturday night, on the eve of the inauguration ceremony in the capital, the prime minister's Press Chief Bertalan Havasi told MTI.
Viktor Orban personally congratulated Javier Milei on his election victory and invited the new head of state on an official visit to Hungary.
They discussed the possibilities for further developing Hungarian-Argentine bilateral relations as well as political cooperation in order to more effectively take up the fight against international left-wing forces,
the press chief said.
The PM, who is also head of Hungary's majority ruling Fidesz party, held bilateral talks with Santiago Abascal, head of Spain's right-wing VOX party, in the Argentine capital earlier in the day. The meeting focused on the common campaign effort ahead of the European Parliament elections and the stakes of the elections, which is defending national sovereignty. The Hungarian and Spanish party leaders reaffirmed their commitment to deepening the alliance of European right-wing parties, which is steadily gaining strength.
