Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó stated that both the Georgian and Hungarian governments face heavy attacks, but with new U.S. leadership, the situation has changed. He highlighted Hungary’s strong partnership with Georgia, citing their joint efforts to co-sponsor a U.S.-initiated peace resolution at the UN as the path to peace. He emphasized the importance of a joint government meeting, adding that their cooperation in the international arena is vital.

Szijjártó criticized the EU's treatment of Georgia, calling it unfair and driven by Brussels’ dislike for conservative, patriotic governments. He also praised Georgia’s government, urging them not to yield to European pressure, as political change in Europe would soon strengthen conservative movements.

He confirmed Hungary’s commitment to visa-free travel for Georgian diplomats and service passport holders, vetoing sanctions against Georgian politicians and police chiefs, as he saw no evidence of election fraud. Szijjártó also expressed opposition to the European Commission taking over U.S. aid to Georgia, reaffirming Hungary’s stance against sanctioning patriotic Georgian politicians.
