, ‘Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who became the rotating EU Presidency country in the second half of this year, immediately headed to China after his recent visit to Russia.’,

, ‘China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency reported today that “Prime Minister Orban is scheduled to visit China today and will meet with President Xi Jinping to have in-depth discussions on mutual interests.”‘,
,
, ‘ Reuters cited the Hungarian Prime Minister’s office and local media, reporting, “Prime Minister Orban has already arrived in Beijing for a meeting with President Xi Jinping.”‘,

, ‘This surprise overseas trip by Orban, with a pro-Russia leaning, is his third since Hungary, which has pro-Russia tendencies, took over the rotating EU Presidency at the beginning of this month.’,
,
, ‘ On local time on the 2nd, Orban visited Ukraine and urged President Volodymyr Zelensky for a prompt ceasefire and peace negotiations. He then visited Russia on the 5th, just three days later, to discuss Ukraine’s peace plan with Russian President Vladimir Putin.’,
,
, ‘ Following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the visit of Western leaders to Russia is very unusual and can be interpreted as Hungary, the leading country of the EU imposing sanctions on Russia, taking on a mediating role.’,

, ‘However, it was reported that Zelensky officially rejected his proposal and that the Russian President also insisted on the existing conditions for ceasefire negotiations, indicating that his mediation efforts did not yield tangible results.’,
