Before the government meeting, Viktor Orban highlighted that Hungary and Georgia share more in common than one might initially think: both countries stand up for their sovereignty and reject becoming instruments in the conflicts of external powers.

At the joint press conference, Orban stressed: "We need more meetings like this."
"It's been a long time since I welcomed a delegation from Europe that has as obvious a reason to be happy as our Georgian friends. Just look at the numbers, everyone envies them, including us. Seven percent economic growth, decreasing national debt, a managed deficit, and similarly good forecasts for the coming year. Meetings like this are energizing," said PM Orban.
Thank you, prime minister, for bringing your optimism and achievements. Your results were not achieved with a tailwind but rather against the wind. It would be easy with a tailwind, but Georgia is facing headwinds, just like us,
he continued. Hungary's prime minister recalled that "not long ago, Prime Minister Kobakhidze won an election much like we did in 2022."
"The global liberal mainstream used all its power in a bid to prevent both of our nations from forming governments that represent their people," he emphasized, adding that both governments are still under attack from Brussels to this day.
Simply because the Georgian government stands up for peace, refuses to be drawn into war, protects its sovereignty, and proudly says that their homeland comes first,
he said.
Viktor Orban highlighted:
Hungary stands up for Georgia’s sovereignty both in bilateral relations and on the European stage. We understand their situation deeply. We consider today’s guests true patriotic heroes. This applies to Prime Minister Kobakhidze in particular, who has to fight for success, independence, and sovereignty day after day.
The Hungarian prime minister stated that, regardless of Brussels’ opinion, they have agreed to provide full support to Georgia on its path toward the European Union.
Starting in September, Hungary will provide training for fifty Georgian civil servants, passing on Hungarian governmental experience, and Hungarian experts will also be sent to Georgia. During the Hungary-Georgia summit, economic cooperation was reviewed, and several agreements were signed.
