The prime minister stressed that Hungary will be a good partner during these six months, and will make every effort to seek solutions, results and cooperation opportunities with a view to finding or making headway to finding solutions within the boundaries of the European Union.
Hungary is an open state which is ready for consultation, PM Orbán said. The prime minister described the meeting held with his Maltese counterpart – whom he referred to as an old and great friend of Hungary – as highly fruitful.
He remarked that there is good cooperation between the two states within the institutions of the European Union, and he regularly consults with his counterpart despite the fact that they belong to different political families.
PM Orbán said that we highly appreciate the Maltese investors present in Hungary. He asked his counterpart to encourage further investors to move to Hungary.
