Orbán: Hungary backs Georgia in dispute with Brussels
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán received Salva Papuasvili, the Georgian parliament’s speaker, in Budapest on Monday, and they discussed political cooperation as well as economic and energy ties.
Orbán called for a stop to “the attacks by Brussels and the Soros network against the pro-peace Georgian government”. The prime minister also said the EU financing of opponents of the Tbilisi government must be halted.
Georgia, he added, was ready for EU membership and should be allowed to join as soon as possible.
The officials agreed that Hungary-Georgia ties “are based on shared values”, including their “common cultural and Christian heritage and a commitment to peace”.
Economic cooperation should better reflect the level of political relations, the prime minister said, adding that bilateral investment and business relations and trade should be expanded in the future, the statement said.

“With this agreement, cooperation between the parliaments of Hungary and Georgia has been elevated to the same strategic level at which bilateral governmental ties have been maintained since 2022. It also symbolises the friendship built between Hungary and Georgia based on common interests and traditions,” Kover said.
