Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha on Monday arrived in neighboring Hungary for talks on Kyiv’s accession to the EU and NATO.
A statement by the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said that Sybiha began one-on-one talks with his Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjarto upon arriving in the capital Budapest.
In an earlier statement, the ministry said Sybiha will travel to Budapest, where he will hold talks with Szijjarto on multiple topics, including bilateral ties and Kyiv’s accession to the EU and NATO.
The statement further said that Sybiha’s visit to Hungary is a continuation of his first regional tour since replacing Dmytro Kuleba as Ukraine’s foreign minister earlier this month.
The purpose of the tour is to establish a “pragmatic and predictable good neighborly policy and progress towards the strategic goal of Ukraine's membership in the EU and NATO.”
On Sept. 18-19, Sybiha paid a visit to Romania, Slovakia, and Moldova, respectively.
