On Wednesday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban will receive Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi in his office. The main topic of the official talks will be the fight against illegal migration, PM Orban’s press chief told Hungary's state news agency (MTI).

Mr Orban’s press chief said Hungary’s prime minister and Mr al-Sisi will also discuss the development of bilateral economic ties at the meeting, adding that

the migration crisis will also feature with added emphasis.

Press chief Bertalan Havasi recalled Mr Orban’s remarks at Tuesday’s summit between the Visegrad Group countries and Egypt in Budapest, namely that migration is much worse now than in 2015.

 

The European Union can only cope with this if it has external allies, and Egypt is one of the most obvious allies, a key country, Hungary’s prime minister told the V4+Egypt summit.
