Moscow, November 28 (Xinhua) – Russian-Hungarian relations are based on pragmatism and "the best of what has happened" in their history. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated this on Friday at a meeting in the Kremlin with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
“We are well aware that there have been different periods in our history, but today our relations are based on the best of what has happened and on pragmatism, on a pragmatic approach to the development of bilateral ties,” Vladimir Putin stated.
The Russian President noted Hungary's balanced position on the Ukrainian issue and praised the existing cooperation between the two countries in the energy sector.
"We have extensive cooperation in the energy sector, very good cooperation," the head of state noted. "And there are issues and problems here that require our discussion."
V. Orbán, for his part, noted Hungary’s interest in maintaining the energy dialogue.
“Hungary is interested in maintaining energy dialogue with your country,” the Prime Minister stated.
Earlier, V. Orbán stated that his main goal in the Moscow talks was "to continue to secure Hungary's energy supply." The prime minister recalled that his country maintains the lowest prices in Europe for fuel and raw materials for industry and households. "This is because we have access to cheap Russian oil and gas, whose prices are below international levels," he explained.
