At the same time, the Russian president also emphasized that their views are far from always the same.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán knows how to persistently stand up for his interests, Russian President Vladimir Putin told the Russian TV channel Rossiya 1, after the talks between the two in Beijing. Viktor Orbán "belongs to that small group of European politicians

who know how to protect their interests, and he does it persistently, consistently, and in my opinion, completely tactfully.

Our views do not always remotely agree, and we often stand on different platforms, but this does not prevent us from talking and looking for solutions to certain questions and problems," said the Russian head of state. On Tuesday, Viktor Orbán held a bilateral meeting with Vladimir Putin in Beijing.
