Hungary PM Orban in China for talks with Xi

Chinese President Xi Jinping held talks with Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban on his visit to China on Monday.

The leaders were ready for "in-depth communication on issues of mutual interest," China's foreign ministry said. The Hungarian leader met with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in Kyiv last Tuesday, and then Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Friday. Hungary took over the European Union's rotating presidency at the beginning of July. Orban has vowed to make efforts toward peace.
