(ANSA-AFP) - WARSAW, MAY 20 - Budapest and Warsaw will work to defend their common interests in Brussels, Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk told his Hungarian counterpart Peter Magyar. Magyar chose Poland for his first foreign visit after his election win over Hungary's longtime leader Viktor Orban, a Kremlin-friendly nationalist who oversaw years of tensions with Tusk's government. "Through our daily work, we shall show that Hungary and Poland are one," Tusk told a joint news conference with Magyar. He vowed to "work together in Brussels on geopolitical issues and to defend our various common interests, because we have practically nothing but common interests". Relations between the two countries had been poor since the 2023 election in Poland of pro-European Donald Tusk, a firm ally of Ukraine. (ANSA-AFP).
