Hungary to have top diplomatic events this week

The world will turn its attention to Budapest this week as the capital city is going to host top diplomatic events, Barna Pál Zsigmond, a government official, told public broadcaster M1 on Tuesday.

The parliamentary state secretary of EU affairs noted that Budapest will host a European Political Community summit on November 7 and an informal summit of the European Council the next day.

“Thursday’s event will be a summit of European countries in a geographical sense with the UK, Turkiye, the Caucasus, and the Western Balkan countries in attendance while on Friday EU heads of state and government are set to meet,” he said.

The agenda of both events includes discussions about major geopolitical, geostrategic, and economic issues, as well as the US presidential election, Zsigmond said, adding that a Budapest declaration on Europe’s competitiveness was also planned to be adopted.
