Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto held talks with Myanmar's State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi in Budapest on Thursday.
At the meeting the two leaders highlighted that one of the greatest challenges at present for both countries and their respective regions – South East Asia and Europe – is migration, Kormany.hu reports. They noted that both regions have seen the emergence of the issue of coexistence with continuously growing Muslim populations.
Orban pointed out that Hungary supports trade cooperation between the EU and Myanmar. At the same time, however, he stressed that Hungary rejects attempts at the “export of democracy” and the approach of bureaucrats in Brussels and elsewhere in the West, who seek to conflate unrelated issues such as economic cooperation and internal political questions.
