Hungary's Foreign Minister highlighted that significant economic announcements are expected in the field of Hungary–Turkiye cooperation, particularly concerning a new record in bilateral trade, the expansion of air connections, and natural gas transit that directly affects the security of Hungary’s energy supply.

As is known, Prime Minister Viktor Orban has traveled to Turkiye for high-level economic and political talks.

The goal of the visit is to further strengthen the strategic partnership and to expand both Hungary’s energy security and its export opportunities.

In recent years, relations between Ankara and Budapest have strengthened noticeably, especially in the areas of energy and trade, and the current discussions may represent another milestone in the cooperation between the two countries.
