Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Monday hailed Türkiye’s regional role and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s diplomatic efforts, saying the Turkic world is emerging as a dynamic and strengthening force.

Speaking alongside the Turkish president at a press conference in Istanbul, Orban said Erdogan had told him that a different world is coming and the Turkic world will gather great energy, and that he observed a grand vision behind the concept of "Turkish century."

The Hungarian premier also appreciated Türkiye’s efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war, describing Erdogan as "the only successful mediator" in the process.

Earlier in the day, Erdogan received Orban ahead of the 7th meeting of the Türkiye-Hungary High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council.
