Hungary PM visits Poland, Austria to restore ties
Hungary's Prime Minister Peter Magyar begins a two-day visit to Poland on Tuesday, hoping to restore ties hit by his predecessor's closeness to Moscow during Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
By choosing Poland as his first official visit as prime minister, Magyar is both looking to turn the page on the Viktor Orban era and also create a bloc of central European countries that carries weight within the European Union, analysts say.
Poland has in recent years shifted its focus towards "Nordic and Baltic cooperation", Piotr Buras, of the European Council on Foreign Relations think tank, told AFP.
But Magyar, who ended nationalist Orban's 16-year rule at elections last month, is hoping that Poland will again look towards central Europe.
