German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius is holding talks in Hungary on Friday about military cooperation and is due to meet his new counterpart, Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi. Both ministers intend to make a public statement afterward.
Germany and Hungary are already linked by several defence cooperation programmes, and Hungary is modernizing its armed forces with German weapon systems.
The article says agreements were difficult in Europe and NATO under Viktor Orbán’s former government, describing Orbán as a supporter of Moscow. It says cooperation may expand under Hungary’s new government.
