Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP) welcomed the new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar to the Federal Chancellery in Vienna. The visit not only marks Magyar’s second trip abroad since his resounding election victory in April 2026, but also signals the end of the long period of diplomatic chill that prevailed under his predecessor, Viktor Orbán.
