So all week I have been giving presentations to Whitehall Ministries and in the City; and calling on Ministers, senior officials and companies. They all want to know about the political and economic situation in Hungary; the business environment; personalities; priorities for the Presidency; how to work with Hungarians; and how Hungarians view us in the UK. (Answers on a postcard please....)

Highspot of the week was the chance to attend a bilateral meeting between the two Prime Ministers. Viktor Orban and David Cameron obviously get on extremely well, belonging as they both do to the centre right of the political spectrum in Europe. And although we will not agree on all issues, it is clear that there is much common ground when it comes to promoting jobs and growth; and to many aspects of the EU's foreign policy agenda."
