BUDAPEST, Hungary, May 20. Hungary is one of the few countries that pursues an independent policy. Especially within the framework of the European Union, conducting an independent policy is quite challenging, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said, making a joint press statement with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Budapest on May 20, Trend reports.
The head of state said:
“There are many rules, many established principles, and the common foreign policy of the European Union is naturally one of those principles. Nevertheless, my friend Viktor Orbán has always prioritized Hungary’s state and national interests above all else. We welcome that.”
