As Magyar Nemzet reported earlier, Viktor Orban's peace mission continues with the Hungarian PM landing in Beijing early Monday morning.

It is important to Hungarians that China promotes peace in the world,

PM Orban stated at his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The day after Hungary took over the EU Presidency, Mr Orban met with the Ukrainian president in Kyiv as part of his peace mission. During his visit last Tuesday, he asked  Volodymyr Zelensky to consider a time-bound ceasefire, and on Friday he was in Moscow to discuss possible peace terms with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
