Although no concrete commitments were made at the talks, "the fact that they took place at all is an enormous step forward," Magyar cited Bono as saying. The parties have agreed on a shared goal, peace in Ukraine, he said.

The US and Russia also agreed that they would continue the dialogue and discussed restoring political and economic ties, he added.

Bono also said that the Trump administration saw Hungary as an important international ally, "and counts on us especially in promoting dialogue between Washington and Brussels," Magyar said.

Bono and Magyar said strengthening European defence capabilities is in the interest of the US and Hungary too.

Magyar said he and Bono also discussed bilateral issues and agreed to maintain continuous dialogue.
