Hungary's Prime Minister Péter Magyar will visit German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Tuesday and French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday, in his second major European diplomatic tour since taking office.
Magyar, who swept to power in early May after a landslide election victory over Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party, has made restoring Hungary's standing within the European mainstream the centrepiece of his foreign policy agenda, following years of tensions between Budapest and EU institutions.
Magyar, who last week visited Warsaw and Vienna, will be received by Merz at noon, with a joint press conference scheduled for 1pm, a statement from the German Chancellor's Office said.
