The Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobkidze, visited Budapest at the invitation of the Prime Minister of Hungary, Peter Magyar. The event was the 70th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956; The Georgian side also used the trip for political contact with the new leadership of Hungary. At the official dinner, Kubhidze and Magyar discussed bilateral relations. The Prime Minister of Georgia said that Tbilisi expects to continue close cooperation and intends to deepen the relationship with Budapest. In the past, Kovaceza regularly visited Hungary under Viktor Orban, a longtime ally of the ruling Georgian Dream. After the Tisza party's victory in the April election, Magyar replaced Orban as prime minister, and the visit was Kubhidze's first contact with the new Hungarian leadership. Budapest remains one of the few destinations in Europe where representatives of the Georgian government regularly travel. For Tbilisi, maintaining a dialogue with Hungary is important against the background of the cooling of relations with Brussels and the suspension of Georgia's accession to the European Union.
