"We have a lot in common, not only in history, but also in political and security matters," Põlluaas said after the meeting, via spokespersons.

"These meetings will definitely help to further deepen our bilateral relations. It is our common responsibility to look not only at the past but also at the future so that we can best represent the interests of our countries," he went on.

The meeting was also attended by EKRE MP and Estonia-Hungary parliamentary group leader Anti Poolamets.

Both men agreed that all parties in their respective societies must have equal rights.

Kövér added that that although bilateral relations are close and cooperation is strengthened by linguistic ties, much remains to be done in developing economic relations.
