Szijjártó: Zelensky would like to meet Orbán, but this would only make sense after thorough preparation

On his own initiative, the head of the Ukrainian presidential office had a telephone conversation with Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó on Wednesday evening.

Andrij Jermak, who was in Washington, informed Péter Szijjártó that the Ukrainian parliament is preparing to adopt several important laws. The Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs thanked and acknowledged the information.

There was agreement between Szijjártó and Jermak that there is a need to improve the relationship between Hungary and Ukraine and that the best tool for this is direct personal dialogue.

Therefore, an agreement was reached that Péter Szijjártó and Andrij Jermak will also meet in person, said Máté Paczolay, spokesperson for foreign affairs.

During the meeting, Andriy Yermak proposed a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

Péter Szijjártó responded that, of course, the Hungarian side is open to such a meeting, but it only makes sense if there is a chance that such a meeting will end with a positive result. This requires thorough preparation and preliminary discussions, the spokesperson said.
