Parties at the talks also discussed topical issues around bilateral relations, as well as the implementation of agreements signed during Putin’s February 2 visit to Budapest, kremlin.ru, the Russian president’s official site, reported.

Putin and Orbán welcomed the EC decision, which has “removed obstacles from adding two new blocks to Hungary’s Paks Nuclear Plant, involving Russian state company Rosatom,” kremlin.ru said. International affairs were also touched upon in the talks, the Russian site added.
