Orban, emphasizing China's role as a pivotal power in shaping conditions for peace in the Russia-Ukraine war, highlighted the significance of his visit following President Xi's official trip to Budapest just two months earlier.
The meetings between Orban and Xi took place at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing, where both leaders delved into strategic dialogues concerning regional stability and international relations. Orban, upon arriving in Beijing, described his visit as "Peace Mission 3.0," underscoring Hungary's proactive diplomatic efforts to contribute to conflict resolution efforts.
