Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha announced Monday that he engaged in productive weekend discussions with Hungary’s Foreign Minister Anita Orban regarding minority rights concerns.
The officials have scheduled expert-level discussions between their nations for this week focused on addressing issues affecting the Hungarian minority population living in Ukraine’s Zakarpattia region, according to Sybiha’s announcement.
“We are prepared to work with the new Hungarian government on all issues of our bilateral agenda, including the national minority topic, with the aim of restoring trust and good-neighbourly relations between our countries,” Sybiha wrote on X.
The Ukrainian foreign minister characterized his weekend conversation with Orban as “constructive and substantive” and said the upcoming consultations would seek “practical and robust solutions for the Hungarian minority in the Zakarpattia region.”
