Details: The invitation was relayed to Orbán by Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, who recently visited Minsk.

Lukashenko said he was ready "for a dialogue with European countries" and invited Orbán "to discuss serious matters".

Orbán’s press chief, Bertalan Havasi, said that Orbán will consider the invitation when he returns from the EU summit in Brussels.
