During the NATO summit, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met with Turkish President Recep Erdogan. The parties discussed the "peace mission" of the head of the Hungarian government, citing Orban's X account.
As Orban noted, Erdogan is an important partner in his so-called "peace mission" since Türkiye was the only country that successfully mediated between the warring parties in the Russian-Ukrainian war.
