Türkiye-Hungary Relations
25 DECEMBER 2023
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of diplomatic ties, Turkiye and Hungary have elevated their bilateral relations from a strategic partnership to an enhanced strategic partnership during President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's visit to Budapest where he met Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. The leaders signed 16 agreements to deepen bilateral economic, trade, defense, and energy relations. In the first 11 months of the year, trade volumes neared 4 billion dollars between the two allies with a shared target of 6 billion. This year, as energy supplies become a critical issue for Europe amid the conflict in Ukraine, Turkiye and Hungary are looking to increase cooperation in this field.
