Orbán arrives in China after Putin meeting – POLITICO

China is a “key power in creating the conditions for #peace in the #RussiaUkraineWar,” Orbán said on X. “This is why I came to meet with President Xi in Beijing.”

Local media reported Sunday that Orbán was heading to Beijing and set to touch down on Monday morning in a military-government Dassault Falcon 7X plane.

The Hungarian PM had hinted at more surprise foreign visits in an interview with Swiss media conducted during his flight back to Budapest from Moscow.

That meeting caused a diplomatic storm within the EU, drawing sharp criticism from numerous leaders and an official statement from the EU diplomatic service underlining that Orbán was not representing the EU, contrary to the impression the PM gave in a statement made in Russia.

The Hungarian government had earlier canceled a meeting between Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó and his German counterpart, Annalena Baerbock, which had been scheduled for Monday.

China is the largest foreign investor in Hungary, and Chinese leader Xi Jinping made a state visit to Hungary earlier this year.
