Hungarian Foreign Minister Announces Major Foreign Policy Reset, Seeks Return to EU and NATO Negotiations

Hungary's new Foreign Minister Anita Orbánová announced a fundamental restart of Budapest's foreign policy during the Globsec Forum security conference in Prague. She declared that Hungary aims to return to the European negotiating table and build pragmatic relationships, describing the European Union and NATO as fundamental pillars of Hungarian stability and security. The announcement signals a potential shift in Hungary's approach to its Western allies after years of tensions under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's government, which has frequently clashed with EU institutions over rule of law issues and maintained closer ties with Russia and China than other EU members.
