Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Saturday held bilateral talks with Rustam Minnikhanov, the head of the Republic of Tatarstan, the prime minister’s press chief said.
The two leaders were in agreement that Hungary and Tatarstan were prepared to continue working together based on their shared achievements in sectors where cooperation is possible, such as agriculture, Bertalan Havasi told MTI. Despite the sanctions and political difficulties, the Hungarian companies present in Russia are exploring ways to expand their activities, they said.
Orbán said Hungary and Tatarstan were also aiming to continue their cooperation in the areas of culture, science and higher education, adding that Hungary would continue to welcome students from Tatarstan within the framework of the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship scheme.

They’re Russian citizens that Orban is offering scholarships to. That is a Russian politician Orban is shaking hands with. Tartarstan is part of Russia. Orban prolongs the war by continually doing business with Russia and expanding ties. Hungary should be cutting its’ ties with the fascist war mongering regime. The more Russia and Russians are isolated and made unwelcome the more they will get the message that they must stop their war against Ukraine.
